Today we were taking Shona out for lunch. She wanted Italian and that’s what she got.
Wordle and Spelling Bee completed first, then we were off to pick up Shona and then we drove to Mango at Longcroft near Bonnybridge the UFO capital of the UK. I don’t know if the aliens come to Mango. Maybe they do, but we didn’t see any today.
Shona and Scamp had Juliette for starter (Deep fried Italian bread served with tomato and basil sauce and grated pecorino cheese). Then both had Risotto for their main. I had Keema Spring Rolls as my starter and Punjabi Style Chicken. In both cases, the starters were the stars. Scamp hadn’t noticed that her risotto was tomato based and my curry was cooling before it got to the table and I should have ordered rice instead of naan. The naan was more like flatbread, but nicely singed, so I forgave that! Overall, though it was a good lunch, just our choices weren’t the best.
After lunch we drove Shona home and then Scamp and I went to Halfords because I really need to replace the wipers on the car. There was still a good bit of light in the sky, so I suggested a trip up to Fannyside for another go at getting some mist photos. The temperature was predicted to reach 2ºc tonight, so that would probably generate some mist. When we got there we were way too early and although there was some mist beginning to form, it was going to be at least an hour before it was photographable, so we headed home with a few possible PoDs in the card. I was right. Today’s PoD was another view of the ruined farm at Fannyside with better lighting.
Back home I decided I just had enough light left to allow me to wash the car, and that’s what I did. It’s a lot cleaner than it was, but tomorrow we’ll find out how many bits I’ve missed.
No plans for tomorrow except maybe re-washing the car!
