Birthday of the Exec Producer and a lovely cold, crisp day....



Happy Birthday!



A succesful visit to the dresser of hair mid-morning for the Exec Producer was followed by an intimate wee lunch with your correspondent at Brown's on George Street - chicken & bacon toasted panini and smoked fish fishcakes were shared between us...

Off to the cinema then for Anne with sister Jane while, later on, the desired present was acquired by Mr CBQ...

This evening we bore the brunt of the now quite bitterly cold conditions and walked down to the local bar (which was absolutely chocablock with drinkers and carousers) to meet uo with Anne's best chum, Lynn and her partner Ross...

After a couple of drinks, it was back out into the cold for the brisk ten minute walk along to The Chinese Manor House, scene of our excellent bringing in of 2009 just over a year ago....

As we ordered our meal, fish looked on...



...and as Ross proudly showed off his new Abraham Lincoln look, Lynn looked on (no doubt proudly)...



A very tastly meal was enjoyed as the beer and wine flowed freely, with everyone partaking of everyone else's choices, providing the veritable spice of life that is variety...

Around 10:30 or so, we left the restaurant and walked up the hill to Crispycat Towers where some whiskey, gin, banter and coffee was enjoyed, witnessed of course by Meg the Black Cat...



We called it a night around 1 am and Lynn and Ross set off for home through the cold, dark cloudless night...

An enjoyable birthday...
