Been trying to get a table for 6 people around some restaurants in town and Christchurch without much luck, although 8pm is peak time I guess.
Things must still be booming down here. What recession?
Had to get a 9pm table at the Urban Reef down by Boscombe Pier. Hopefully the rain clouds will keep away.
We've had a beer down in the very small bar downstairs. At least this is a new review for fong.co.uk/efnic.co.uk
A shame that some of the niche and interesting places have gone.
Take Zafari that was in Boscombe. Where else are we to eat crocodile steaks, kangaroo and ostrich?
We went to Nippon Inn which is on what I have seen called the Gaza Strip on the internet to mean Charminster. Very affectionate I must say. It was good to see Nippon Inn was full and we enjoyed our food yet again. There menu has grown and I suspect their client base has grown and I wish them the best of luck. My previous favourite, Tokyo Sushi, had closed down years ago and not too long after starting up as well.
It is great to see Bournemouth has a diverse range of eateries and great to see the good people of Bournemouth checking them all out. I can quite easily and happily go from the Harvester to Gary Rhodes and back again without too much thought.
Oh yes, we were back at the Mexican Grill. Whelks, oysters and more whelks. Yum yum.
Wasn't too sure about the Sterling Euro exchange rate. Very poor indeed.
After two months of 0% interest on my tracker, I have to start paying now.
So unfair, ah well a good thing doesn't last.
Scorchio, hot damn hot.
Weather reports have been a bit off so hope that the sun is really coming.
