Dinner for Picky’s birthday was great. First, I treated myself to a pint of Abbott’s Ale in the nearby Wetherspoons (pub chain for tightar$es), while waiting for the others to arrive – Hammersmith is on the District Line so it only takes me 30min to get there from work in Richmond.

I can’t rave about Sagar enough. Back to my favourite entree of Samosa having tried “Alu Bonda” on Sheila’s birthday. Going crazy, I tried one of their curries instead of the usual and scrumptious “Dosa” option. It didn’t let me down. “Alu Ghobi” accompanied by a HUGE “poori/puri” (puffed bread thing almost the size of my head!) called a “Batura”. Washed it down with 660ml of Cobra – a light Indian lager.

Also sampled some of Nelsie’s “Tali” options which were also really nice – I might just have to order a Tali next time.. 🙂

My bro is looking at road bikes!

How embarassment. The GT is sitting out in the snow (well, it was almost snow) and I get an email from him, an total non-rider for years, saying he’s looking at Avanti roadies!!! The shame, the shame!! 🙂
