It’s been one of those weeks, that considering I’m retired, I seemed to be out more than in. And no, it wasn’t just ‘out for lunches’! Instead, I sorted out a friend’s two PCs as she made the jump to Windows 8, continued my computer-coaching class, met up with an ex-work colleague, as well as met a school chum (where we compared experiences as we were separated in school years by 25 years!), and continued work on a new web-site for a friend.
So, by the time Friday came, I felt like I’d been back in full-time employment! and there was no better way to celebrate the end of the week, than go out for a meal with friends.
We booked a table at The Vines (Kettering’s posh hotel & restaurant, and in walking distance) and joined Jo and Janet, reflecting on the week just gone. The Vines was in fine form, and although deserted when we arrived, was packed by the time we left. They’re obviously getting it right here, and tonight was no exception! Our food and service was the best it’s ever been!
Starters – Toasted Camembert
More Starters 🙂
Mains – Steak Pie
Alternative Starters: Guinness – My Weekly Ration
Dessert – More Chocolatey than Mr Chocolate from Chocolate Town
On the way out we spotted, Bobby, Stella and Heather in the Bar, and after a quick natter and catch-up we four staggered up the hill to home. It was a perfect end to a busy week!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
