January 2025. Leighton Buzzard.
Not perhaps the wisest evening on a day of family tragedy, but we all cope with death differently, I guess.
You can’t end an evening in Buzzard without a Balti, or in this case a Dansak, in Sahil’s back over the bridge.
Tremendous curry and service, even if we were never actually given a menu and just ordered off the Google reviews.
That 660ml bottle of Bangla was a bad idea, but at least it wasn’t followed by a pint of cask in another Buzzard boozer.
Oh no, it had to be Tia Maria and salted caramel cheesecake back in the Spoons.
It worked. I had the first uninterrupted night’s sleeps in months. Before being woken at 8:30 by the Coroner.

“That 660ml bottle of Bangla was a bad idea”.
Not really my favourite beer but I find a couple of pints of Doom Bar nicely accompanies a curry in my nearest pub. I should be on my way there very soon.

Paul, Mrs E and I discovered that Peroni comes in 620ml bottles at a Balkan/East Mediterranean restaurant in Halifax last night.
No, not my favourite, but still quite good.
The Albanians/Croats/Macedonians/Bosnians (delete as appropriate) at the next table seemed to think so too.

Sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds as if you’re taking an onwards and upwards approach.
Love etc,
Lorenzo
