Raising the bar

We needed something for our combined kitchen and living room, so we decided to get a bar. I ordered the Howard Miller bar through Amazon, and it was an interesting experience. The ordering went fine, but when the day arrived, well, things went the American way. The guys who were delivering the bar almost dropped it from the truck twice, and there were many "oh my good" situations on the way to our condo. Unbelievably, everything was delivered intact. It is a 200+ pound (about 100kg) beast, but I have never seen anything so well packed and protected. As you can imagine, the package was not very small... And setting it up with my muscular wife was a slight challenge.
Anyway, we were very proud of ourselves and decided to celebrate it by having dinner at one of our favourite restaurants, South, just around the corner. A bottle of good wine...
... and their excellent food.
