Today it rained again. Everyone was fed up, including Smiffy the cat. He sat looking out of the front door, reluctant to venture outside and get his fur wet. In the afternoon Smiffy settled down to watch the snooker.
Sue recalled that he liked to watch the snooker last year as well. Perhaps he is backing Judd Trump to win, or maybe he just thinks the balls are little coloured animals that he would like to kill.
In the evening the rain stopped and the sun came out. We drove to the Mezze @ the Royal George, Thornbury. I ordered a pint of my favourite draft Leffe Blonde and a small Thatchers for Sue. We sat at our reserved table and looked at the menu.
Each Mezze dish is £4.50 or three for £12. We chose three to share and also ordered some handcut chips. I had Beef Stifado, which contained four large pieces of tender beef in a thick tasty sauce. Sue had Scampi and we shared a Greek Salad, which means I get all the olives as Sue doesn't like them. There was also a bowl of toasted bread which was complimentary. The food here is a bit special and the total bill including drinks came to a mere £21.
We called in at the Baileys Court Inn on the way home.
