Just when I was giving up hope, I've received an email to inform me that I am going to be stewarding at FoQ for four hours on Thursday and Friday.  Sadly, my shifts include the TSP meeting-up hour.  Look out for me - I'll be wearing white gloves!

Hope to see you Pearl but it depends where you will be as it's a big place. Will keep my eyes open.

Of course I'll be wearing my badge, @Iminei.

Are you staying over, @maliw .  Are you joining Iminei, Low and me for dinner?

@Pearl, you don't like Indian food ??? (BTW Indian doesnt necessarily mean hot spicy)

@Lowena, @anyoneelse ... Do you want me to book the Indian and/or any other restaurants you can source ???????

Don't worry about me, @Iminei .  I'm sure I'll find something on the menu I'd like, even if it is only pakora and barfi.

@Pearl try chicken/lamb Malaya. Not too spicy (if at all) and not as sickly sweet as Korma. Delish! My mouth's watering at the thought of Indian food and it's not ten o'clock yet!  :P  :[

Thanks, @wrenkins .  I love lamb so that could be the way to go. 

My friend has cancelled on me.   :(   
She's going up north for her s(on)il's 30th birthday.  (She did say that she was unsure when I ordered the tickets.)

So, do I try to sell her ticket before I go in or go again on Sunday?  Maybe do a workshop?  Anyone want a ticket?

As Mr Humphries would trill......."I'm Free" on the Thursday and Friday evenings and am very flexible ( it's the cod liver oil  :D ) about where I eat........ I can't walk too far though  :( I'm partial to all cuisines ( but Chinese is my least favourite )

Possibly me and Jo.  I’ll ask her.  We would have a couple of seats in her car.  Would be Thursday.
