Friday. It's wet out. I don't mind that too much today, I'm out to lunch but rain won't matter. I'd like warm and sunny tomorrow though, I'm on duty in the CCT Visitor Centre at Saul Junction. No visitors so no fun if it's wet. My mate's wife is coming with us and we are stopping for a nosh up at The Anchor in Thornbury when I take them home. It's a very nice pub with a lovely atmosphere, the food is excellent and the service first class, the prices are very reasonable too.
Got to get the sewing machine out today,then the ironing board. I know how to have fun...but that ain't it!
I see that, not for the first time, you've managed to highlight the big difference between prices for pub food in your part of the country and mine:

You'd need to add about 50% onto those prices in most independent pubs in Suffolk!
However I had a lovely meal last night and, fortunately, someone else was paying (although the prices weren't too bad for a decent restaurant anyway):

Morning Chris. Just goes to show doesn't it. That's about standard for around here. But The Anchor is one of my favourites. It close to my mate's place. You're probably aware that my all time favourite is the Tudor Arms at Shepherd's Patch.

Right on the canal bank.
The Casablanca is, indeed, very good, Boaty. (I'd picked a friend up from Stansted and she insisted on buying me a meal at the restaurant of my choice. I've wanted to try the Casblanca for quite a while).
>>> Are you doing a repair waterman?
No, Eleena, he's sewing his pockets up so that he doesn't have to pay in The Anchor ;-)
Time for me to get some sleep, I think. (This bottle of Soave seems to be making me sleepy, for some reason!). So, as soon as I've persuaded the big ginger cat on my knee to move, I'll try to get a bit of kip.
