Happy Cup Match Eve, Kids!

It’s that wonderful time of year when my inbox gets filled with Out-of-Office messages as soon as this post gets emailed out.  For those of you who are still working today, happy reading, even though I’m sure most of you have mentally checked-out already.  And don’t forget to spare a thought for our friends in the hospitality industry who don’t get a four-day weekend..

Don’t despair, life goes on after Cup Match – here is what is coming up:

Lyntour is a well-loved server at Bermuda Bistro at the Beach who is unfortunately unable to work for an extended period. For this reasons, her Bermuda Bistro family are hosting a weekly Lunch for Lyntour on Fridays.

From noon until 3pm, you can stuff yourself at their pizza and pasta buffet, with a percentage of proceeds to be given to Lyntour.

The cost is $19 per person.
