Brian and Sheila left Seaside around 08.45 to visit the famous Pensacola museum whilst we decided to have a quiet day as we had a long drive on Friday. So most of the time Noel caught up with the usual bits of paperwork and communications with friends overseas and the day slipped by quite quickly really.
The weather today was not so kind in the afternoon and we did consider a swim but the temperature had dropped quite a bit in preparation for the rainstorm that was due to hit mid to late afternoon and surely it did with a vengeance. We had planned to go for dinner at a restaurant on the beach where we could watch to sun go down but the rain was so heavy you got absolutely drenched in less than a minute but we were joined for dinner by a couple of friends that John and Denise had met since moving to Seaside. The restaurant was quite busy but the service was poor indeed and the prices extremely expensive, eg I had a bit of fish and cauliflower and one glass of half price before 18.00 wine for about £ 40.00 , quite ridiculous and they added the 20% Service Charge, to save you time. As the service had been so bad we all went back to the house to eat up some of the Costco apple pie we had bought whilst the friends visited an ice cream parlous an picked up some to go with the desert.
Due to the restaurant being unable to handle my food allergies ,by the time I got home I was extremely hungry still and so demolished a large smoked salmon sandwich followed by yogurt and strawberries. Oh well we have a long day tomorrow and had an early night.
