9:17 am – Lit candles on cafe table, waited for a while and then decided to go for the mondo breakfast.
10:07 am – Pushed on to the centre of town, did a few laps of the ice rink. Good to get a bit of exercise at least.
11:02 am – Hot air balloon ride was a bad idea, never had a head for heights. Forgetting my glasses turned out to be quite serendipitous.
2:34 pm – Picnicked in the park, champagne and strawberries took the edge off the balloon ride.
3:52 pm – Chap in the park refused to rent tandem bicycle to me, argued with him for longer than I should have. In retrospect he may have had a point about being in charge of a vehicle under the influence of alcohol.
5:13 pm – The funfair can only be chalked up as a success – won two large soft animals on the coconut shy.
7:35 pm – Managed to get last minute table at new seafood restaurant. Had lobster and more champagne. Both good. Waiting staff a bit snooty though.
9:30 pm – Saw new Sir Stanley Higginbottom exhibition. Some of it anyway, not really my thing. Wine not bad.
11:10 pm – Got home, gave Mr Appleseed his dinner, let him play with the stuffed toys. Overall, the day was a bit of a mixed bag.
*Note to self for next year – more preparation needed, best not leave it to chance again.
