Getting plastered

The Jedburgh Co-op is doing a really nice Jacaranda Rose. There's a Shiraz and a white as well. Three bottles for a tenner. Yum!

Actually the title of this post was meant to relate to the fact that the plasterers showed up yesterday and made good progress.
We're on course to get the temporary partition removed next week and we're reaching the stage where we can see light at the end of the tunnel which for once isn't the headlamp of the oncoming train.

The bar is very quiet tonight. Apparently the Cross Keys in Ancrum are celebrating their 100th birthday and there are barbecues and bands and whatever. On the B&B side we're busy: we have ten guests eight of whom have turned up since lunchtime.

Jacaranda! - it doesn't mean "wine" to me. It means this time of year in Pietermaritzburg, my home town. PMB is lined with jacaranda trees, each with a thousand purple flowers per twig! And then they start dropping, and carpeting the road. I'll try to post a picture on my blog!

If you ever find yourself driving in PMB in the Jacaranda season, drive carefully. They don't make for good tyre grip...
