Lazing on a Sunday afternoon

MrGrumpy woke later than usual, it was 7:30 before he got up.  Today he planned to clean the car, it was time to remove the sand and bugs he had collected over the last week or so.

Out with the brand new sponge and bucket, it was now about 9:30 and the sun was already pretty hot, not ideal to use the car wash, so MrGrumpy decided to just rinse the car and dry it off. While cleaning the car he chatted the MrNextDoor who was clearing up all the leaves on his drive. MrGrumpy was able to confirm that there are no bars in walking distance but did get some tips on places to visit and told how difficult it can be to get to Santa Cruz on a weekend. As MrGrumpy tends to get up early this could work to his advantage if he wants to go to the coast on a Saturday morning.

After cleaning the car, checking the oil and topping up the washer fluid, MrGrumpy decided it was time to go out somewhere, but where...
He did not want to go too far, so off to search the world wide womble, he decides to goto Los Gatos, only a few miles but looks like a nice downtown.
As it was not far, MrGrumpy just put on the aircon, rather that putting the roof down, he found somewhere to park and started walking round the downtown area.
A pint of your finest larger,
please MrBartender
After a while MrGrumpy was pretty hot, he decided it was time for some refreshment, lucky he just found the Los Gatos brewing company. Time for a refreshing pint.

MrGrumpy had also found on the w.w.womble that there was a photography gallery / shop at the Pruneyard shopping mall, so after he had cooled off and refreshed, he drove from Los Gatos back towards San Jose, this time with the top down.

At the shopping mall, he soon found the gallery, there was some very impressive photos, they also do workshops, so MrGrumpy collected some info and had a good look at the photos (http://www.apertureacademy.com/).
After walking around the rest of the shops, it was time for MrGrumpy to get some food, he went to the Rock Bottom brewery, this time he would be drinking soft drinks with his food. As usual MrGrumpy did not know what he wanted to eat, he did not want too much, so decided on the Blackened Chicken sandwich with french fries, it was a good choice, not too much and tasty.

It was not about 5:30, MrGrumpy headed back home, he relaxed on the sofa, put some music on and emulated a F1 sunday snooze. A couple of hours passed as MrGrumpy lazed on the sofa, it was time for his evening beer and time to watch Mythbusters on TV.
