June already. So not making 365 posts within the year.
Another Who-Who post, this time displaying my cat grooming talent. Grooming usually takes place in a number of locations due to The Who's annoyance at being brushed. It's all good if the brushing is going with the grain. As soon as you get to the backcombing.... well, he was never going to be a goth. This grooming session started on the wall outside the back door, progressed down to the wall outside the bedroom window, round to the wall bordering 'the copse' (The Who's preferred outside 'toilette'), on to the ground in the courtyard then over the gate and into the common area. We finished with an edgy kitty-hawk style, guaranteed to strike terror into the hearts of Bella and Monty, the other third floor dogs (The Who doesn't need a kitty-hawk to strike fear into the heart of Muhammad, the third floor goldfish).

Avoiding scrambled eggs at Café Segovia
33 Block Place, Melbourne
Grant and I went there this morning, starving after walking out to East Melbourne for a couple of open inspections and then back into the city again. We weren't expecting awesome food but we were expecting some flavour. I must mention, however, that the waiter was very receptive to Grant's complaints so full points to him. However, we will not be going back. For a $17 breakfast, I expect scrambled eggs to be made with dairy products instead of water. And let's not pretend that dairy products aren't added for allergen reasons. Let's call it for what it is: a cost saving measure.

Location, location, location. The Bengal Tiger doesn't have it. What it does have is consistently delicious, good quality Indian food with a warm, comfortable interior and friendly, personal service. Perfect for a comfortable mid-week meal or low-key weekend dinner, the only thing missing at The Bengal Tiger, besides a fresh glass per beer, is the people. As that pimply kid on the Bed Shed ad back in Adelaide used to proclaim "it's a pig of a location" and, as a result, it really seems to miss out on the patronage it deserves, at least from an eat-in perspective. But it definitely deserves a visit (or a few). I even felt rewarded for all that time I devoted to reading the Bhagavad Gita when I recognized a scene from the scripture of Krishna and Arjuna preparing to enter battle. That was some hard core reading.
