curry and castles

so i'm in farnborough at the moment, southwest of london. a work colleague of mine from canada, let's call him darth vader, has been visiting for the past couple of weeks. he has a friend, pindu, in farnborough, so after a fun day in london on saturday, i came down with them to spend the rest of the weekend here.

in london i took them to the haagen daz restaurant in leicester square, need i say more? heaven in an ice cream cup. we walked around alot, had "thai" buffet near covent garden, then danced to 80's music for a bit before heading to f-boro. the "thai" restaurant was run by chinese people; there was mandarin music playing in the background, and half the dishes weren't thai at all but chinese. i wonder if your average londoner could tell the difference though.

at the club they were playing some serious 80's music. tiffany, whitney houston (twice), lionel richie...and then they played NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK! you know you're old when you're the only one to react to "hangin' tough", as i squealed and nearly doubled over in excitement and shock, while everyone around me looked quizzically at the video playing on the tv screens, wondering what 80's band is this? enough said.

sunday was a lazy morning; woke up late and had a YUMMY lunch made by pindu: BUTTER CHICKEN (homemade!), and lamb keema (minced lamb). my belly was happy. this was followed by an afternoon wandering around windsor, near the castle. we had dinner at a tapas bar and then made our way home.

i have my flamenco class this evening, can't wait! oh, and oprah still hasn't texted back or called...we'll see if she ignores me in class this afternoon...i'm sure shit of some kind will go down...

hope you all had a good weekend!
