    Well DH & I walked down to the bowls club and outside on blackboard was a sign saying No Meals on the 25th. :rolleyes: So we walked home again and had eggs & baked beans on toast with a glass of wine. :D That's the second time that's happened. Have taken off my glad rags and put on my jarmies. All set to watch the tennis.
