Changes in Sunninghill
On a recent tour through Sunninghill, we were alarmed at the number of
restaurants that have gone, several not to be replaced (yet?). Times must
be bad when a Wimpy closes, but that has happened in Chilli Lane.
Also gone from there: Curry Delhi (we'll miss the pun) and Kung Fu
Kitchen.
The Square has lost Green Origins – they did try, but presumably not
hard enough.
In Sunninghill Village, The Laughing Buddha has replaced Fusion
Café. Another sad loss there is "The Shunting Yard and Portas Deli"
which, in addition to the coffee shop and delicatessen, sold wonderful model
trains. I suppose we just didn't buy enough of them.
PizzaCassO is surviving in Sunhill Shopping Centre, but has closed in Wendywood
Shopping Centre, a centre that is gradually dying.
On the positive side, a Pizza Del Forno has opened in Chilli on Top.

"Doc, what actually is the function of the

"Well, its main function, once patients pass middle age, is to make money for

Restaurant Review by Judith Back to top
***** Perron, Hobart Grove Centre, Bryanston: 11 November 2016
A venture into Mexico on a dark and rainy night proved to be very enchanting.
They were, technically, full, but the highly
obliging Shelton managed to create a table for us by taking a table away from a
couple who had two. The Villieria wine was very good and the Appletiser suited as usual. Meals
were Fish Taco - proclaimed excellent and Levanta La Muertos - a wonderful
tomato cocktail of seafood. Totally perfect food and great ambience. Shelton
proved a great waiter. Great venue for the young at heart and party people!

Builders Warehouse Tips
Builders Warehouse has
seventeen things to do to secure your home before you go on holiday,
followed by a helpful list of things to check before you leave. They also have a DIY tip on making a secret compartment to conceal your laptop or
other valuables. We did something similar but forgot where we had hidden the
valuables and had to unpack most of the cupboard to find them! Our advice
is that you always make a note of where you hide valuables. Of course, you
want to hide the note somewhere safe where burglars can't find it...
Fun Website for Nerds
If you are excited by science, interested in how things work, and don't mind a long read and some mild bad
language, look at Tim Urban's website, Wait But Why. Just a few of the many articles we liked:
