9th September 2020
There was a break to our usual routine, instead of “Stein night” we went to an Indian restaurant for a curry with Mike and Lesley, our English friends from down the road.
They suggested it knowing how much I missed my curries.
The place was Pind in Grand Rapids, somewhere they had been several times and recommended it.
This was a pleasant end to a frustrating day. There are days when creativity has a day off, and today Kelli experienced it.
We had been working on a dresser that we picked up from the side of the road. I had cut off some rotten wood and made new back legs, Kelli was experimented with different stain colours and none seemed to inspire her.
I was busy making a new top, and I could see she was a bit fed up.
This was the time to walk away, and work on something else, and we had plenty of things to choose.
I was messing around with another roadside find making new legs for it.
This dresser had a drawer missing, it was easier to cut the height down and add some legs to it.
We drove to Grand Rapids to meet Mike and Lesley who also brought a friend of theirs to join the party.
Pind is a small restaurant, that wasn’t very full, although it was was six thirty, a bit earlier than we normal book, but it was a change.
Kelli had been to an Indian restaurant before, but a long time ago. The waiter helped her to negotiate the menus and found a korma that was not too spicy. I chose a vegetable biryani, which was superb, and massive, even I couldn’t finish it, thank goodness for doggie boxes.
Kelli worked her way through her korma, nose running, she made good progress.
As we drove back, I was trying to decide whether to have my left overs for supper, or leave it for tomorrow’s lunch, choices, choices.
Another Lifetime to go
