I had a nice day today. I visited AnM out in the wilds of Essex, where we drove around a lot in the sunshine, went to a fish restaurant in Mersea that was sublime. It only served seafood – literally; it was bring-your-own-bread-and-drink (and butter, though they forgot to tell us that bit) and most of it was fresh caught – really good! We had crab, cockles, prawns, crevettes, green-lipped mussels, more prawns, smoked mackerel and salmon, razor clams, scallops, raw oysters and grilled oysters with cheese. Suffice to say, we did not eat it all, though I do hope to use the leftovers in something (lord only knows what). Oddly though we did manage to move on to a tea room for tea and cakes… that must be the Second Stomach Effect – one for each food type. Very lovely day. Marred slightly by having further arguments with the Infernal Net people (we’ve been without net for several days now and without adequate customer service for about the same length of time. But evidently partially resolved since I am typing this, ignoring the fact that we cannot use cable TV and net at the same time currently.
Typing this is very difficult, still got a Fee shaped hole wandering around the house. But at some point there has to be a Next post. And it might as well be one about fish. And cheese. I think she’d appreciate that.
Especially the cheese.
