Thursday was a busy day. Finishing work around midday, I headed up to Fareham for a Christmas meal with work colleagues. A very nice meal it was as well, a chicken & bacon terrine, traditional turkey and Christmas pudding. Nice portions, I felt quite full. I had a couple of 0% alcohol Peronis. I have to say that the peronis were very good the meal was delicious.
In the evening I headed down to the Gosport Wetherspoons there was a leaving party on for a boss. There were lots of people there, so I haven’t seen since before lockdown. A very pleasant evening.
Saturday was a bit different. I caught the wightlink catamaran over to the Isle of Wight for the Isle of Wight Radio Society Christmas meal, the 8 bells inn in Carisbrooke we were there last year, and both times has seen a very nice meal.
After the meal, I got the very kind people to give me a lift back to Ryde. I took the opportunity to visit the Ryde Bookshop (one of those 2nd hand bookshops, absolutely rammed with books).
Very, very occasionally I buy a writing magazine. I knew I’d have a wait, so I might as well have something to read. And hopefully something to write about.
