10th September – chill out day.

We arranged to meet Kathleen and Brian for an afternoon and dinner, where Steve had planned a Monkfish Laksa.

We called in to Portlaiose to collect the pre-ordered fish and then drove over to Athy.

Spent the afternoon with K&B and the dogs and had a splendid dinner.

Brian has a new MASSIVE projector television and he offered for us to come back the next day to watch the Grands Prix, so we did!

11th September – Grands Prix day…..

Over to Athy to settle in for the GP on the huge tele….

Steve stayed until 3pm and then had to leave for a business meeting with Hannah at Roundwood House.  Steve came back to pick us up about 6pm as we had a dinner planned at an asian restaurant at Kildare Village.

This was a complete disaster and we did not really enjoy the experience.  Watered down satay sauce, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce!  They also messed up Manda’s dinner and when challenged just said that the “chef did not have the ingredients”.  So of course Steve’s view was in that case tell us or ask if we want to change our minds.  They took Manda’s meal off the bill!

Back to Roundwood, to bed!

Next stop Limerick……
