First on the list was some preparation for the Burhill Golf Club's Annual Review of handicaps. Not yet finished, but a good start made. Then it was time to draft up this week's Friday Email. For some reason, this took me longer than usual but got there in the end.
All of which meant that I ran out of time to get a few other things done. I did though spend an hour reviewing a complex Ofwat case that I am involved in. I did not get to the end there...
A trip to the local Home Depot store was next on the agenda. I had been meaning for some time to purchase some Philips Hue lights for the house here. These are internet connected light bulbs that you can program from your phone. Great for turning them on when you are out or indeed even out if the country. I have already decided to buy some for the UK and can see I am going to have some fun!
In the late afternoon, we went to our local cinema to see the recent film about Steve Jobs, starring Michael Fassbender. A small insight only into the man's life but well played by both him and Kate Winslett as his Work Wife and a sparkling script from Aaron Sorkin. Not bad at $2/head either!
On the way out, I had a look into the local "British Pub", called the White Horse. The board outside was advertising the best Root Beer in Florida, which was not a good start. Heading the menu though was a Chip Butty at $5.95. Not sure what the locals will make of that particular highlight of British cuisine... Instead, I went home and used up some of the previous day's brisket in a meaty and delicious ragu: yum!
