You forgot to bless the boot didn't you... A good game anyway, and we did well to get to the final. Perhaps an iffy decision on that disallowed try, but perhaps not.
A good day yesterday too, just for a change we had lunch in Wagamama in Canterbury, bought some food and some wine in the Goods Shed and Canterbury Wholefoods and took it to the bro-in-law's house for his birthday. Had a great meal and a great time, despite the rugby result.
We were thinking of going to the cinema today to see Stardust but couldn't be bothered in the end, so went down to the beach and for a mighty walk around Folkestone. I didn't realise until today that the dodgy bits of Folkestone are far bigger than the nice bit where we live, so that explains why the town has a bit of a reputation. Even what I would call the bad side of town is interesting in it's own way, it's just that the housing is a bit more crammed in over there.
Updated Clare's PSP today, because I wanted to see Gordon Ramsay's recipe videos, it's now all video-podcasted up and is great. Where do I go for video podcasts then, that are any good? They all seem to be short promo clips and not actually updated very often, so not really podcasts at all... Off to see if podcast.com is all Kosso says it is...

Went to Eastern Nights on Saturday evening, at the top of the Old High Street for a curry, as it had been recommended. Normally in Folkestone we'd go to The New Delhi, and it's always good, but OH NO, I had to speak up and insist we try something new this weekend...
We've tried to visit once before, and found it CLOSED on a Saturday evening, what's that all about? Seems they close early (10pm), maybe because it's still not a nice part of town to be in around closing time. Did I just mess up my chance of this review featuring in The Quarter? Anyway, this time we arrived in a timely fashion, and got a table without booking. First impressions are that the venue's a little stark, too brightly lit (like both the other curry houses in town I've been to), and at 7.15 there are no other customers in the place... The other feeling is that this is an old fashioned curry house, though I can't quite put my finger on why. Partly it's the presence of a load of non indian dishes on the menu (steaks and things, all listed in French). Not many curry houses feature beef on their menu I don't think, this also felt odd.
Medium range of drinks, though small servings by default of both the beer and the wine, so they're confident we'll enjoy without being too tipsy. More customers arrive, as do our popadoms, but Clare spies dust on them, have they been on the floor? Can't be sure, seems alright to me, and the chutneys are pretty good - chili, lime, and mango.
The venue seems to be recommended by www.vegetarianvisitor.co.uk (never heard of them before) though the only vege main dish was the biriani, unless there was a secret vege only menu that I missed. I settled for 3 sides. They were OK, though not really spicy or that interestingly flavoured. Clare's chicken was OK, though it had to go back to be reheated.
I'd not go back again, what a shame.

Got a brocher through the door from Abel Cole, a mixed box of organic veg for a tenner a week, sound like a good deal..?
This week's box will contain;
Apples In Conversion
Blood Oranges
Broccoli
Carrots
Fennel
Jerusalem Artichoke
Kiwi Fruit
Potatoes
with all items available for exchange... so what's "in conversion"? In the process of converting to mouldy apples? No it's soil association approved supplier, but not quite actually organic. You can vote for what kind of stuff you like, this sounds great and we're going to give them a go... will report back as to how we got on.
