a big thanks to u all.
a couple of things hit me for 6. i was compelled into completing a rush job at work which nearly put my lights out working 10 hr days 6 days a week - i'm no spring chicken.
there was also the world cup which added to the trauma.
the extra hard work took it's toll and an already dodgy back knocked me for 6 and made the work deadline even worse (being self employed).
anyhow i've not cooked curry for over 3 mths. needless to say i'm raring to go.
some friends have even bought me some balti dishes and have held a tikka night on the chiminea to kick things off.
