Toorington people on their way to church
A Lazy Toorington Weekend!
This weekend was a very slow weekend. We had a lazy time. We spent most of our time in the garden. A little bit here and a little bit there. Nothing special.
But, the grill on Saturday evening was great. Two beautiful steaks. We bought them at the butchers on Saturday morning. And, the wine came from The Toorington Wine Bar. Very good and a very good price. Only 10 pounds a bottle.
After dinner we watched Grafenegg on TV. Live from Austria. Buchbinder was playing. A sensational concert. Brilliant as usual. One day, we are definitely going to Grafenegg. I love the atmosphere. Classic and fine.
And, what's planned for next week? We are meeting Mick of the Toorington theatre club. See you next week.
