Winding up

Last night's dinner at Reina Kitchen was superb. It is a really nice addition to the food scene in Chichester. The Gorse Fox is no expert on Turkish cuisine so cannot attest to the authenticity of the menu; what he do is say that everything he tried was absolutely top notch. He started with a dish of halloumi and Turkish sausage (sucuk). It was delicious. The sausage was a bit like a chorizo but had a much finer grain and was far less salty. Then for the main course he had mixed shish - which provided both lamb and chicken pieces that had be grilled on skewers and served with a salad and bulgar wheat. Others tried a mixed seafood dish, or a lamb dish. We were all very happy and the only significant comment was that in a further trip, we might skip the starter. (The Gorse Fox thought - speak for yourselves!)

We just missed the bus home which meant a very cold wait for the next one, some 50 minutes later. This is a mistake we won't repeat!

Today started suitably slowly. The Gorse Fox went round to the paint shop to get all the paint for the sewing room. The chap was ever so nice and even though the Gorse Fox doesn't have a trade card, he provided a 10% discount. Once home, the Gorse Fox got on with filling the various settlement cracks round the doors, windows, and skirting boards.

This afternoon we have been faffing about a bit, but as part of this generic faff we did drop in to Wickes and picked up the last (hopefully) of the decorating supplies that we need. There is no longer any excuse not to get started. The Gorse Fox is now winding himself up to attack the walls tomorrow.
