The menu's are quite large so when choosing a glass a wine I laid the menu down to see it and was unaware of the small candle in the centre of the table. I had seen the brown mark on the menu getting larger but was too busy concentrating on choosing a White or Rose (too young for Red). It was only when the smell of burning was clearly coming from our table and not the kitchen did the wife realise what I had done and tell me. Oops!. I later knocked over a bottle of Olive Oil. It was like Mr Bean meets Mr Magoo.
Anyway I can recommend the Antipasto Zizzi (you can see the candle in the picture).
No rain today so will have to go out on my bike.
Update - 10:15 - It's snowing, quite heavy, me and the snow that is.
Update - 12:30 - It's stopped snowing and the sun is out so I must get out on my bike.
The wife saw a woodpecker in the back garden but only had time for a few pictures.
Update - 15:00 - Longest cycle ride so far. Now totally knackered.
When cycling round was nearly attacked by a dog being walked by a middle-aged woman. Luckily I know how to instantly incapacitate a vicious dog, unluckily I didn't have a loaded gun with me, so I was forced to give them both a nasty stare.
Now relaxing with a slice on Christmas Cake and a bottle of water.
Green Woodpeckers have a lovely and very distinctive call. Not sure how to describe it in a blog, but you'll know it when you hear it (possibly). Feeding the birds and the squirrels in the garden is the highlight of my day. Bloody hell I'm old!
ReplyDeleteI thought the call of a woodpecker was "that's all folks"
