Returning to the scene of the crime
Yesterday evening I met up with an old friend for a meal. He's suggested a curry at a local place. In a previous life this venue was a pub. I first drank in it when I was about 15. I drank in it almost continually from then until I was 41. The last time I took a drink was symbolically in there that was about 7pm on Friday 14th May 2004.
It has obviously had a makeover since then. The old music bar is now the restaurant but the old drinkers bar while now like green and cream is frighteningly similar to when I last drank in it.
I ordered a Pepsi Max, chicken danzac and a pilau rice. Very nice, excellent value on the mid week deal.
And one of the few remaining old demons from my past slayed. It's changed, I've changed we can now cross paths in a new way.
