I slept OK dosed up with pain killers but still can’t lift my left arm properly. We don’t seem to bounce back quite as well the older we get!
Strong winds again this morning.
I had to go for my routine mammogram appointment. As I expected they couldn’t do it as I couldn’t lift my left arm enough! But while I was up there (Westwood), I collected my new reading glasses. I also bought some Voltarol and more Ibuprofen.
In the evening, we arranged to meet Mal’s two sisters and Dave at the Toby Carvery which is just up the road from us. They were already there when we arrived and Dave had been told that there would be an hour and a half wait until we could eat. We know how popular this Toby is, it was packed, so we expected this and relaxed in the bar, catching up and having a few drinks.
We waited the hour and a half and were all getting hungry. Each table had been given electronic buzzers so they could buzz you when your table is ready. No buzz and finally a waiter came to our table in the bar. Great, we were all starving. We hadn’t noticed the place was emptying until the waiter said “Sorry no food, we can’t open the ovens!!!” After waiting an hour and a half and then they didn’t even offer us a complimentary drink. Great customer service Toby! We sat there stunned. In the end we decided we would have to go to Decks, a new restaurant that had opened and was only just down the road. Of course I have contacted Toby Head Office. Decks was very good, we should have gone there in the first place. Even help yourself, as much as you could eat desert which Debbie enjoyed! Mal and I opted out of that one.
