Last of the Pinot Grigio  by boxplayer

Last of the Pinot Grigio

At dinner at the hotel. Sadly we'd booked this night away as a treat for my mum, but in the end she hadn't felt up to it, so we went alone.

Worked from home earlier, a dismal day with drizzly rain increasing to heavy showers. The original plan to go to mum's to leave with her scuppered, I called an Uber which took ages to arrive because of local traffic. Arrived at Dave's work at 5 and we set off the rain continuing.

Same hotel I stayed at for my 60th with the peacocks. Very luxurious. Didn't have time for a swim, just enjoyed the shower and went to dinner. Lovely food - prawn and halloumi skewers and crab cakes to start followed by mushroom risotto, tiramisu and a cheese board.

Watched some of the France/Spain match in the telly room next to the bar with a glass of port. Impressive Spanish team and young goal scorer.

Back to have an argument in the room over nothing obviously.

And oddly there seemed to be a convocation of Buddhist monks here - saw a guy in orange robes walking the grounds and a few more in the corridors.

He looks alarmed at finding the end of the bottle! But there could always be more. Sorry your mum isn't feeling up to this trip as the background certainly says "elegant".

Shame your Mum wasn't up to joining you but, apart from the argument, it sounds like you made the best of it.

Love Daves face, I'm sure there's another drop in there.
