Stopping for a drink  by boxplayer

Stopping for a drink

These greylags were stopped by the side of the road drinking from a puddle. They weren't particularly perturbed by my presence as I passed on my way through the parks and into the office.

Not supposed to be particularly rainy but I caught light showers both before and after work, getting damp as I couldn't be bothered to forage for my brolly.

Met Grace after work at the Queen's Arms and it was a lot busier than when we'd been there last in August - Thursday is the new Friday after all. We perched on bar stools catching up with a kir royale and a negroni for a while before I checked my apps for eating opportunities nearby.

There was space at the Iberia Georgian restaurant by the tube so we thought we'd give it a go and it was superb. A menu of interesting eastern specialities - started with a selection of odd vegetable pâtés involving leeks, carrots, beetroots and spinach, along with cheese stuffed mushrooms. Mains for Grace of pork and bean stew with pickles and a delicious whole trout with plum sauce for me. Shared a honey cake after.

Nicely full after.

Fab capture that reminds me of my late dog who always used to drink from my garden's dirty pond rather than his clean bowl of fresh water!
