Well, my lot just got back from 'disco night' at the Dustbowl...lol, it's the local bowling alley and arcade and they play 'disco' music (to which I unashamedly sang all the words lol, I lerve Rock n Roll....much to my children's horror!) and have flashing sparkly lights and along with the decor is very 70's, though not in that uber cool retro kinda way lol, more in line with the 'if it aint broke dont fix it' kind of endurance test some buildings go through. Surprisingly the disco music did not put my game off lol, because anything could only make it better! I lost 2 out of 2 games and have to endure my kids ribbing for the rest of the week no doubt....and I would like to be able to say that I threw the game off lol.
'Quality' time with the kids...lol
Anyway, it was a nice evening, despite missing hubby as he is working, and we hit the arcade for a few rounds of those old chesnuts, Daytona and some shooting galley type games, and I couldn't resist taking this photo & sending it to my Mum....as once we hit the arcade this is about the most I saw of the kids..until they 'needed' more coins that is.
The attached restaurant going by the salubrious name 'Red Tomato' which from the street looks like some kind of tacky bistro, is actually a delicious and well priced Indian/Asian Restaurant with a lovely courtyard setting, inside decorated in a contemporary Asian fusian style. The service is fantastic and both times I have eaten there I have been delighted with my choices...and salivating at the other diners meals lol. They also do wood fired pizzas with a pizza oven embedded in one wall along the restaurant. With the lovely tableware and soft lighting, twinking fairy lights and bougainvillea in the courtyard it quite belies its kitsch streetfront signage. You dont actually have to go into the bowling alley, its front door is adjacent, but you can order from a limited menu whie in the bowling alley if you wish. With mains from $8-$14 you can't go wrong. AND it is licensed, need I say more? Tonight though, sadly, we were too early, so we snacked on a bowl of fries instead.
