Another lovely day with the birds singing outside. I know I shouldn’t say it yet but it really seems like Spring.

Gwen asked me if I would go to lunch with her as we haven’t met up for a long time. She chose The Rocks Hotel in Girne where they do a business lunch for 28tl. Mal and I intended going there to try it out but then I had my bad back prior to Christmas and so hadn’t managed it.

We arrived at The Rocks and as the weather was so nice we sat outside for a drink. When we finished we went into the restaurant. It is just as I would expect a 5 star hotel, impressive! I was surprised at the amount of choice on the ‘Business lunch’ menu which made it really difficult to choose.  I started with caesar salad, not realising there was a choice between plain or with chicken and they brought mine plain. I said I thought it had chicken and the waiter said no problem and very shortly brought out a seperate side plate with three chicken skewers on it!  What a lot of food. I then couldn’t really decide between the swordfish skewers or the veal steak but finally decided on the veal as I haven’t had it for such a long time.  We both had tiramasu to finish.

A really good lunch and nice to see Gwen again. Thank you Gwen!

While Iwas out the builder rang to say that he had repaired the roof leak. I thought he would have rung before he came and I imagined Rosie going absolutely demented seeing them walking around the house and I should think she barked the whole time they were here. I could do with a torrential downpour now to make sure it is OK!

Rosie was fine when I got home.
