First you think that it would be a good idea to go out for dinner, then you get your mind firmly set on going out to a particular place for dinner — then when you get there you find that for inexplicable reasons, they’re shut. Why is it so?
Umalulik seemed like the place for dinner, we’d been meaning to go there again ever since first trying them out. It was not to be — shut, no idea why. Next choice was Mr Tandoor, an old favourite, but one that seems to be dropping down the list. I can remember walking in there and being supplied with papadums when I sat down, and that the chutneys and dips were free… now, everything must be specified, and none of it seems quite as spontaneous and fun and friendly as a few years ago. All part of the fun I guess, everything changes, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly.
