Great News,

our new computer arrived,


a Dell something,

 the old steam powered one,

 new one installed and it is up and running, one slight hitch, with Office 2013 for some reason a feature that I always use, Microsoft Office Picture Manager is not included, for me it is a great program, the picture manager that is included in Office 2013 is quiet frankly is a total waste of time, luckily I am not alone in thinking that, there is a way to install the program, I had to install Microsoft office 2010 tools which has the Microsoft Office Picture Manager as a part of the package, so all is well now,

 in the evening it was glad rags on,

 we were out for a meal,

 with Mr. Tony, to the Edge restaurant in the Hilton,

 as we were early and there were not many people there I took a walk around taking pictures as I went, first the cold seafood section,

 the smoked salmon look tempting,

 as did these individual starters,

a selection of sushi,

 happy faces in the carvery,

 there are lots of dishes to chose from,

 the seafood bar-b-q section,

 there is also a selection of steaks that you can order to be grilled,

 a selection of mix and match dishes,

Diana's favourite, pizzas,

 cold cuts,

 and cheeses,

 and a huge number of garnishes,

 on to the desserts, including the chocolate fountain,

 there are just,

 so many,

 to chose from,

 these are a few of them close up,

 the trouble is,

they all look so tempting,

 on with our meal and what better way to start than with a glass of bubbly,

 water for Mr. Tony and a mango juice for Diana,

 a seafood starter for Mr. Tony,

 baked fish in leaves amongst others for Diana,


cold cuts, cheese and biscuits with silver skin onions for myself,

 'Cheers!', as the sun goes down,

 Mr. Tony getting to grips with one of the huge bread sticks,

 pizza for Diana,

 we were seated a little away from the food serving area, we had booked 2 days in advance but the table we wanted was already booked, it is a popular place to dine,

 second course, some shrimps and two types of smoked salmon,

 before the main course a change to red wine,

beef stew for Mr. Tony, which was excellent,

Diana was still on her pizza dish,

 a slice or two of beef and lamb,

 and some beef stew for myself,

 I forgot to mention that yet again I had one of those magic glasses they have here, every time it is nearly empty it refills itself! so bubbly or red wine? decisions, decisions,

 Diana then started on her desserts,

 then the bubbly lady walked past, it seemed impolite to say no,

 next on to desserts,

 mangoes featured in most of them,

 but I decided on cheese and biscuits,

 we then made our way back to the car,

 we all agreed the meal was superb, the service first class, it could not have been better, Mr. Tony kindly dropped us off home where we bade him farewell, then it was feet up a nightcap and we were off to bed.
