Lunch on Tuesday was at the Sofitel
Quite a nice light entree.
I had sat down after looking at the cutlery,, as I wanted chicken.

Back at the Sofitel again today, so knowing this I wanted to see the menu first.
Didn’t feel like an eye fillet. Again, chose the correct cutlery. No seat mate so I had the choice of entrees and chose the prawns:
knowing that this was the other option:
Oh my, this was lovely. Savoured the fish with my glass of red wine.

MrsP and my anniversay yesterday too. 35yrs! 43yrs total.
I hired a busker to entertain the guests, a Fijian bloke called Thomas. Thomas used to busk at the Quay and Manly Corso. He played all the standards, great big voice. Some gusets asked if they needed to pay him. lol
Edit: For our wedding...sorry if I created the wrong persona. I am not that romantic to do this for an anniversary.
I thought about renewing my fishing license on our anniversary so that I get a reminder every year. MrsP thought that was a good idea.

Lunch at Fosh in Hamilton.
Views across the river to the city watching the RAAF rehearse for Riverfire.
Moreton Bay bug roll for my entree. Wasn’t expecting deep fried.
Squid for Miss H.
Mrs H opted for Hokkaido scallops. Small but delicious.
The squid dipped in the butter left over from the scallops was yummy.
For main I had the special: southern style barramundi.
The girls both had chowder.
We skipped dessert knowing a cake baked by Miss H was waiting for us at home, but this arrived anyway.

The request from Mrs H was “just a simple cake”.
Trouble is, Miss H doesn’t do simple.
A couple of hours later..
It was four layers and contained strawberry filling!
