Today brunch was a fine affair of beef and wild mushroom stroganoff followed by a desert of Japanese toast and green ice cream.
The desert was the new dish of the meal and the toast and ice cream were a fine combination but can you guess what the brownish dollop of stuff next to the ice cream is? I was expecting something sticky and sweet but it turned out to be anchovies. Never had them with ice cream before and I can't say that it worked very well but I still managed to clear the plate:-)
Walked down to the harbour to take a look at the races and although it was busy it wasn't as packed as I was expecting. I suppose it was the first day and just getting the preliminary races out of the way which were a series of 7 or 8 boat races every 10 minutes or so and each race was completed in a little over one minute. Good to see but the novelty soon wore off so I thought it was time for one of those free beers. On the way to the beer stall I was stopped by yet another San Miguel rep who pressed another voucher for a free beer into my hand; "can I have one for my wife please?" I asked and was promptly given another. At the booth I asked for and was given two bottles of San Miguel Light in exchange for the two vouchers. Could I find a wife? Nope so I had to drink both of them myself. Hard life and just for the fun of it I then repeated the exercise.
Tonight I'll visit the beer festival which is advertising oldies music between 8 and 10 so being a bit of an oldie myself I might enjoy it.

P.S. Absinthe is highly alcoholic and used to be banned because it was thought to be hallucinogenic but has since been legalised again.
