Downtown Brown


Mr. Indi has been feel much better for the past couple of days and we are happy for that. On Saturday we had an early Father's Day dinner with son and daughter in law. It was very nice and M and D just loved the Elvis necklace that I was wearing - a story about the Elvis necklace will be coming soon!


For a Father's Day gift, Mr. Indi received a gift voucher for the new bookstore that has opened and so yesterday (Father's Day) we went off to see what we could find in the way of good books. Mr. Indi is looking for a copy of The Bounty Mutiny - a book of texts and documents relating to the famous mutiny - but we had no luck at the bookstore and will probably have to order the book on-line.


His lordship has been talking about getting one of those "stop snoring" pillows that are always being advertised on the radio and so our next stop was the shopping mall to check out these wondrous objects. The adverts on the radio proclaim that the pillow WILL stop snoring - however, when we read the literature in the shop, it said that the pillow MAY stop snoring - hmmmm! The pillow sells for $129 and so we had to give it a little thought but decided that if it means that I can once again sleep within 100yards of him, it would be worth it. So we now have the pillow and I am pleased to report that I didn't hear any snoring last night....but only future nights will tell.


After we had finished with our shopping we went to The Yard House for lunch. Boy, that place is just so expensive and the food is mediocre at best. But - Mr. Indi did enjoy a pint of the local brew - Downtown Brown. It looked nice and left good rings around glass (the sign of a good pint) but as usual was served too cold and got much better as it lost some of its chill.


The rest of the day was spent reading, resting, and watching the golf on the big tele - that Tiger is amazing!


I took the picture above at Cardiff-by-the-sea.
