Since then, expateek's always wanted to own a sari, so that she too could get tangled in revolving doors, or unwind her clothing in the wind by accident, revealing her
Still, a shopping opportunity awaits, as expateek learned yesterday of the amazing Belgrave Road in Leicester. Sari shop after sari shop, with silks of every colour and design, line both sides of the road in this profoundly Indian part of Leicester. She's desperate to go back to indulge her desire for exotic costume. But she will probably resist, as kilts await in Edinburgh...
And yes, expateek met the lovely katyboo for an Indian dinner last night, and what a dinner it was! At the end of the evening, expateek hopped out of the taxi breathing curry and spice and everything nice, and had to lie down nearly immediately as she was absolutely stuffed to the gills.
Katy went home with probably another night's worth of take-away,
because it just isn't an Indian dinner if one doesn't order entirely too much.
The wonderful thing about this curry night was that both expateek and katyboo lived to tell the tale, and no cutlery was drawn, and no women were thrown violently into a car boot. So civilised, it was, and lovely company.
Look how much Katy trusts expateek!
She's even closing her eyes as she calls for the taxi!
It could only happen in the blogosphere...

Two meals! Two! Jason had an extra supper when we got home and Oscar and I had the rest for lunch today. With that kind of feeding as a regular experience I can see why dresssing in large swathes of cloth would be a very good idea!
Hey no fair, you're in England having fun while some of us are slaving away over czasowniki and other gramatyka in the snow! Kidnap me too!!
I love all that fabric and have been tempted to buy some. The only thing that stops me is that I would not turn it into cloths but use it for cushion covers. What a travesty!
It is great that you are getting to meet your blog friends. I met up with one of mine in Seattle and I too lived to tell the tale.
Oh totally green with envy for both sari shops and curry. I had great sari shops in west London, I used the amazing fabrics for window dressings and shawls. I dare any woman to get out of one these shops empty handed!!
Meeting good bloggy friends is such a treat.
I Know I've beeN out of circulation for a bit... but you came to Leicester and didn't drop in? I'm outraged!
