Friday was my birthday and we celebrated with a meal out. We decided to sample one of the local restaurants. Le Lori has big advertising signs up on the approach to Lorignac, but it's not as fancy as that would suggest. However, they don't serve food until 8pm and we'd planned to go to a concert at 9 so we just had orange juice and asked if there was somewhere else. Le Doublon in the same village was suggested. It looks somewhat unprepossessing, and had a rough sign outside saying "Moules and frites", not at all the kind of place to go out for dinner, so we ended up back at the restaurant in St Ciers. Um. Friday night is fish'n'chip night. Fortunately they had the regular menu too - I had steak and sis#3 had salmon. The steak and salmon were fine, but the big chips weren't, and the pudding (chocolate mousse, the only dessert on the menu without alcohol) was very disappointing.
We missed the concert: I'd eaten too much and went home and fell asleep.
