“…a wafer thin mint…”

We’ve met up with the worlds worst Bananarama tribute band (blog passim) and are planning New Years dinner. There is a hotel in Jaipur which has a reputation of the finest old style Raj dining room. We secure a booking after much work as there is much sucking of breath by the receptionist about availability before they eventually concede there is space, but are warned that jacket and tie are obligatory for gentlemen. Eventually we decide to risk it having no other option.

The women of course are unfazed as they always have several outfits suitable for any occasion. I blame Memsahib for not anticipating all my needs when she packed the bag. Good help is hard to find.
