Monday. Very mild outside again. If this as as bad as it gets that's fine by me! A most enjoyable lunch yesterday. We were at The Gables Hotel, a lovely hotel we have used it before. The food is excellent, the service likewise. I won two excellent bottles of wine in the swindle, one red, one white. Can't be bad. One more Christmas dinner and that's it for the year. I think I will start going to the bi-monthly lunches again.
