Serendipity

Yesterday evening the decision was for an Indian take-out. 

The Gorse Fox went on to the Zeera Lounge website and ordered online with the intention of collecting the meal as he needed to pop out for some cash anyway. He got an acknowledgement email - it would be ready just after 6p.m.

The Gorse Fox  parked outside and got some cash at the Post Office then watched as the chap in the Post Office shop stopped a woman for shop-lifting. A passer by stepped in to help saying how he worked at Lidl and had seen her shop-lifting there also. Issue was soon resolved as she handed back a huge armful of unpaid for good.

The clock ticked past 6pm. Zeera Lounge was dark, and the door still locked. Not looking promising. In fact it turns out that it was closed yesterday. The Gorse Fox went round the corner to Habib - ordered the same dishes and waited. This turned ou to be lucky as the food really was very good and the chap that runs it was absolutely charming. Level 5 hygiene rating, and Chichester Observer "Best Takeaway Restaurant 2019" award - and all their food handling certificates framed and on the wall.

It all turned out well in the end.
