Stirred not shaken

The day starts late due to internal meetings at the client, which is just as well because I'm not sleeping well in this new B&B. Once we do get going, the day progresses well and folk seem happy enough.

I head to one of the bars that has been recommended - the Broken Spoke Bar & Grill. Their homegrown single malt whisky tastes great - but they can't sell me a bottle. In NC you can only buy bottles from the Alcoholic Beverage Commission (ABC) stores.

I drink a couple of beers and eat shrimp ceviche. I make the mistake of ordering their charcuterie platter and, even though I take over half the cheese home with me, I still eat way too much. Another troubled night of sleep awaits.
