Once more in to the breach, dear friends, once more.....

I am not sure if we are gluttons for punishment, or just slow learners. It might just be that we have very little choice in this burg, but the Man about the House and I went to the pub for lunch again today.
It was about 11-35 a.m., and he asked me if I would like to go to the pub for lunch, as it is seniors day, and cheaper. We were unable to enjoy our usual pub lunch last week when we were in Naracoorte, as I had had a large filling and was not allowed to eat for two hours.
We checked the menu and I decided to try the pasta, as I have no confidence in the cook's other meals. When we ordered our meals, we were told that the pasta was not on the menu for seniors. If it was with all the other dishes they could have, why was it NOT for us?
I settled for the 'beaten up butter fish' and salad, and Neville had the corned Silverside and veg. When it arrived, the salad portion was so miniscule one needed a magnifying glass to find it! Neville's meal looked passable, but the 'white ' sauce was yellow. Don't know what it tasted like. When the desserts were eventually brought round, he had trifle, or what passed for it, and I had a banana fritter. Very nice.
I will; have to finish this later as the pressure pump for our water is not working, and he needs to remove fuses to see if that is the problem.
