Monday 17/07/06

Quite a dreich day. It's mrs B's birthday today, so in the evening we go out for supper in the lounge bar of the Crown Hotel. The food there is very good, and I'm the only one that manages to finish both courses of the meal. Monkfish tail in parma ham, with sticky toffee with dates pudding after. I had to help mrs B finish her plate of halibut. Although the main course took a while to arrive, we polished off the lot in 2 hours. Restaurant was quite full for a Monday evening. Apart from monitoring hurricanes, working on the visithebrides.com messageboard and rejoicing at the reinvigoration of the BBC Island Blogging project, I also went into town. This in order to buy a present for mrs B. The boat I showed in the entry for Sunday, lying on its side, was now in a more normal upright position. On leaving the restaurant after the meal, at 9.20pm, a fine drizzle had been falling, so fine that a coat was not needed.

  1. Happy birthday Mrs B! I'm glad Mrs B enjoyed her birthday meal out. It must have been such a change to have someone cook for her, she always seems to be busy doing the cooking herself! Jeannette xx
