Out on the Town!

So....Will was cheese making today. He went in for 7.30 am and did not get home until nearly 7.00 pm!I was expecting him back at 3.00 pm and was having kittens until he texted at 5.30 to say he reckoned he would be another hour yet. I couldn't ring or text him to find out what was going on because I had no phone credit and couldn't top up because I had no internet.I was involved in more cosmetic surgery with cob, and plaster and whitewash and took some rubbish to the local dump which was thankfully open. We are supposed to get a key for it but haven't got round to it yet...but most people leave it open rather than locking it after they have finished dumping their rubbish. The reason for the locks is to keep unwanted dumpers out....but heck! If you can't dump your rubbish in the dump where are you going to dump it?When Will got home late I suggested we go out for tea into Stanthorpe. It was 8.00 pm when we got there. There was a big storm on the horizon, the lightning illuminating the thunder clouds in the darkness.We decided to go to the Boulevard Court Chinese Restaurant. It was very poorly lit as we opened the door and a small chinese woman was peering over the counter like a startled deer. There were no other customers in the place."Are you open?" I asked."Yes" she said, "Table for two?"She brought out menus and we sat down. Suddenly more lights came on."They were going to close up early," I said to Will.Even the town looked dead. Two people walked past walking their dog but I think I only saw one car go up the main street.We had a lovely tasty meal.On the way out we passed a fish tank."Please do not feed the fish or bang on the glass. It scares them," said a sign taped on the glass.It looked like the fish had had enough because they had gone taking the water with them.
