So nice for Kev to have a lie in we didnt get up until nine. We both hsd showers and then breakfast, rice cakes with that chia jam. Lovely. After breakfast we got ready to go out. The buses are only by the hour on a Sunday, so we went out for the 11.50 am one to Bridgeford. It was pouring with rain and cold with it. We got off the bus and scuttled over the road to thr Portello Lounge. We hadn't been in before, briefly when it opened a few years back, but were put of by the barage of pushchairs and screaming children. There were still a few today, but not quite so bad. It seemed like most of them headed upstairs. I did like the eclectic decor in there, and the tiled mismatched tables.
Quick service and good food. I had a chicken, bacon and avocado salad ( and they kindly left off the cherry tomatoes at my request) the bacon was crispy and well done as I like it. Kev had a steak burger and fries. He said it was good if a bit on the large side. I also had a strawberry and lemon lemonchello spritz which was refreshing. So I dare say we will go back sometime so long as the children/adult balance is good. I dont really enjoy eating when children are screaming or racing around me. Even in Disney we found the quieter quick service place to eat.
After we left there we went to M&S to get some food. Mainly fruit, salad, and yogurt. Just a top up shop.
We had a bit to wait for a bus, so Kev left me with the heavy bags and nipped over to Boots together some throat spray and lozenges. He got me some more blister plasters, as l was running low. I always need some to hand as my feet are rarely without blisters due to the fact my feet move so much in my shoes. One podiatry consultant said I had "mobile" feet due to a lack of grip by toes, I now know that is part and parcel of my condition.
We came home it was drier than when we left home but still damp and chilly. We had a cosy afternoon watching our favourite YouTube channels and some of the winter Olympics.
