Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

Enjoying a drop of red.
We attended my friends' daughter's wedding in Bishops Castle yesterday. It was a great event, though sadly no fight broke out at the reception. I did have to earn my keep though as the bride had asked for a car of mine to be her wedding Limo so I was chauffeur for the day.

We decided to stay over at the venue and have lunch today which was an excellent choice. Not had a nicer Sunday roast in a long time.

I've always liked the Castle Hotel in Bishops Castle but never stayed there.

It was the wedding venue and where we stayed overnight. I can recommend it. Seemed to have a reasonable selection of local ales on draught, though I'm afraid I stuck to red wine.
And it's a nice little town.
I first went to Bishops Castle forty-nine years ago for the Three Tuns but, not very accessible, have only returned several times since then.
I've stayed thirty nights in Shropshire but not in Bishops Castle.

Found that rather interesting .

One thing he said though (about 13.06) "Every UK outlet has it's own switch " ......didn't in our old house!
Yeah, the majority do but some don't. You only really notice things like this when travelling, and you feel a bit dodgy just sticking 2 metal prongs into an always live socket. Hell, in Thailand the socket was often only half in the wall too!

Jumped on the bus to town straight from Zumba to collect meds.... now in town with a soaking wet bum :embarrass:....Water bottle wasn't closed in my plastic carrier bag ( which I've now found has a small hole at bottom) & I'd been sitting in a pool of water 😂

I'm just glad the inside of the bag was all wet, with the water bottle top fully open , so I know it was my clean water. God knows what anyone else thought 😂 ( That's why I always check the seats before I sit down ....especially in pubs )
That's your story - and you're sticking to it !

Got a few funny looks standing on the pavement turning the bag inside out , creating a big puddle on the pavement by my feet as well, as needed the dry side of bag for the ship load of meds I was picking up. ( Just glad I had my phone & sons car keys in my handbag, rather than slinging them in the carrier bag after I'd dropped stuff off for him before zumba ! That would have been a bit of a disaster if they'd had a bath )

Nice surprise phone call off son inviting us out . Off for a carvery meal with him and girlfriend before their holiday. Lemonade & coke for all of us except hubby though (and he definitely doesn't believe in not having a beer when we go out) . I've got the airport run at 5am.
