Curry and Music..

Howdy All.

Ruth and I were hanging out for a curry, so on Saturday night, we set forth for Fordsburg, the curry centre of Johannesburg. The restaurant of choice was a place called 'Bismillah'. Seeing as it is a strictly Halaal restaurant, we had to settle for cold-drink to quench our thirst.

The decor is pretty shabby and basic, but the food was really good. Ruth had a prawn curry and I had a spicy mutton curry. Not as hot as I normally like it, so next time I will just ask for extra 'zing'.....

We didn't spend too long at Bismillah's as we wanted to check out some of the local live music. We headed off to a place called 'The Radium Beer Hall', which prides itself on being Johannesburg's oldest surviving bar.

We arrived just on time for the band to start at 9pm. It has been a long time since we have listened to live music in a pub and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The band was fronted by the singer and acoustic guitarist Josie Field. Ruth enjoyed her music so much that she promptly bought a CD...

Looks like we will be making the 'Radium' our local music haunt...

Weather took a turn for the better. Last week, saw some pretty foul, wet, cold and windy conditions.

Not too much to report at the mo, but keep coming back to see any updates.
