So, this blog is turning into a bit of a what I did at the weekends kind of thing. Mainly, this is because searching online for jobs and going to do the shopping during the week don’t seem to warrant too much comment. I did apply to the Northstar cafe, previously mentioned on this blog. After a semi-informal interview I was left to decide if I wanted to work weekends and commit for a year in order to cash in on my one week’s paid holiday and go back for a second interview. I haven’t decided yet.
Yesterday was K’s birthday and we decided after her classes were done for the day that we would head down to the area of town they call the German village. It was particularly exciting as it meant that we were able to head away from High Street. Pistacia Vera provided us with a choice of 12 different macaroons; we took 6 and, somewhat boringly, the vanilla bean won out as the favourite.
After stopping to run the gauntlet of the 36 rooms of the Book Barn, we got down to Skillet for some “Rustic, Urban” food. My pork shoulder broke down as soon as I showed it the fork and K couldn’t finish her fried green tomato thing. The side of sprouts was actually really good too!
The Ravari Room was our destination for evening drinks where we had sadly just missed Wolves in the Throne Room a few days earlier.... A good load of K’s new writing buddies showed up and we enjoyed the beer and conversation. Rather weirdly though we were followed most of the way home by this guy:
He was making a lot of noise and only really gave up on the pursuit when he got to our road and our local neighbourhood cats intervened.
