Another reasonably quiet day because we have to return the car to Hertz by 10am. I took Karen to work and returned home. About 20 to 10 we left for the car rental place. I have driven 1271 miles in the two weeks we have been here. There are some things that I'm still getting used to - there are normally no sidewalks (pavements), nor are there always borders between properties so it can be difficult to know where to turn. I have missed the right entry a number of times.
I spent some time looking at the passage for next week's sermon, and drank one of the beers Robert brought me.
We picked Karen up from work and got lunch from Firehouse Subs. They got Karen's order wrong, but the food was OK. Once Karen was back at work we returned home and watched the Liverpool game, then went for a walk. Jo had been out this morning, so we walked around the estate, the went towards the Village Mall. Only about 15 minutes later we were crossing the vast car park on this side of the Mall. It takes about 1200 cars. We went through the Mall and into Applebees for a desert and a coffee. They had no cream, so the coffee and tea had to be drunk black. Then we returned to the house as the sun went down. Sunrise was at 6:44 and sunset at 16:49. By the time we got back it was almost completely dark.
For our evening meal we went to Olive Garden, the food is excellent, and for once the service was also excellent, there's always a down side though, in this case it was the young people in the next booth, particularly the one in the middle facing me. who were excessively loud. Then Karen drove us back home in time to watch Moonshiners.
