Jeanie popped around with my birthday present. It's a limited edition print from an original painting she did for someone. It's so good and I feel privileged to have been given it. It's a portrait of Ringo star in the style of a famous artist called Fabian Perez.
It was the opening night of a new Indian restaurant called Saffron at the bottom of bullcoat lane. It's the artist formally known as the Bulls Head pub so thought I'd go and check it out with mum.
I booked a table for 8:30pm and got there for about 8:15pm so we would be on time.
I was prepared to allow for teething problems as it was their opening night but it was very shambolic (review to follow).
The food I had was lovely but a couple next to us left one of their main courses as she said "it tasted like Daddy's sauce". The rose wine we ordered was disgusting (and I can drink cheap wine). Even after we ordered glasses of lemonade to add to it, we still couldn't drink it so just had one glass each and left the rest.
Mum had the chicken balti and I had chicken tikka pasanda. We both enjoyed our curries and mine was the kind I really like that was very coconutty. We shared pilau rice and a Peshwari naan. The nan was really hot so obviously cooked fresh, but sadly some of it felt quite raw, so I left half of it.
I'm not going to write it off as it was their first night so will probably give it another try in a month or so and see what it's like then. I want it to be nice as it's literally down the road.
We complained about the wine and said we didn't want to pay for it so they took that off the bill. See Review
In other news, one of my friends sent me a screen shot from Ahsley's instagram (I can't see his as he blocked me when I commented on one of his lives). The guy has been pleading poverty and saying he's trying to get the money together to pay me back and then is posting about having his teeth done. Apparently, it's 3 years in the making but I'm sure if he's just had them done then he has just finished paying for them.
What a despicable person he has turned out to be. He has not even made any attempt to pay even something back to me. He claims he's trying to get the money together, well try just paying something.
I basically wouldn't hear from him if I didn't chase up to see where he is up to, it's like he thinks I will just write it off. No wonder he will never do well in business when he is just a dodgy wanna-be Alan sugar who thinks he is gonna get rich overnight if he keeps jumping from one business idea to another. Hopefully, I will get the CCJ issued soon and then I can pass it on to court enforcement officers.
