sick

It had to happen sooner or later.  I'm sick, cold; flu, call it what you will all I know is it's yukky and I feel poorly.  However I believe that I wasn't infected by one of the kids (one of whom is always sick), but by a supermarket employee who sneezed on my as he handed me my change at the checkout.

Despite this being a long weekend, it went very quickly, and tomorrow it's back to work.  I slept for almost all of today, so it feels as though I haven't really had a Monday at all.

Scott and Franco spent at good deal of Sunday excavating the side of our house in preparation for the deck.  After that we drove out to a tiny little Indian restaurant that is tucked away in a side street in Mt Gravatt East.  We happened to notice it as we drove past a few weeks ago, on our way to complete some now forgotten errand.  The food was surprisingly good, and despite the problems the owner was having with Telstra over his phone not working, the service and ambience was good as well.  We were the only customers, and it appears that due to the telephone situation we probably would be his only customers for the night.  Indian restaurants are widely known for their poor service, and in Queensland for their poor food.  This time we were pleasantly surprised.

When we got home we watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  Which rates in my Top 20 movies of all time.

i have a theory that the worst indian restaurants in the whole of australia are in south australia. we went to 'the best indian restaurant in adelaide' (self-proclaimed), and the food was just oily brown crap. plus, they'd never even heard of mutter paneer!!!
i have no idea what queensland indian restaurants are like, but i'll take your word that they're bad.

Queensland Indian restaurants are awful. They're all of the self proclaimed "Best" kind. All the dishes look the same (brown or red) not one restaurant we've been to has had or even heard of a tandoor, and if you're vegetarian forget it. But we keep trying, because we love Indian food. Good Indian food that is.

In Melbourne we love "Bala Da Dahba" on Glen Eira Rd, near the Ripponlea train station...we used to live 2 streets away and would walk over for dinner once or twice a week. I miss it...
