Up, awake and only partially knackered. The remains of the Polish Coke bottle is restoring the old fabric as I type. I could go and make a cup of coffee, but well, meh...

Last night's trip to the Café Sol went well, I think. I enjoyed it anyway. Good to see [livejournal.com profile] bibliogirl despite her travails, [livejournal.com profile] rotwang who managed to postpone a trip to Halifax, [livejournal.com profile] jfs, [livejournal.com profile] caffeine_fairy, [livejournal.com profile] chomper99 and [livejournal.com profile] romney, plus Liz & Chris, DT, Maisie and Henry sans LJ.

It's a long time since I've been to Café Sol and I'd rather forgotten how good the food is, and reasonably priced, too. A note to the wise, however: unless you haven't eaqten for a month, don't start off with the nachos and follow them up with fajitas. Nothing wrong with them per se you understand, but unless you have the stomach capacity of an aircraft hanger it will all get a bit silly once the Dos Equis starts soaking in.

On the other hand, watching [livejournal.com profile] rotwang nonchanlantly scoffing a raw chilli and then reaching critical meltdown was something I wish I'd captured on film.

As a rule of thumb it is never a good idea to turn the same colour as your food, whatever you are eating.

Henry, [livejournal.com profile] romney and I retired to the Landor for a swift pint after the meal, we three being the only comparative locals - or rather the only locals fully capable of continuing.

A good time all round, I think. If I have another birthday we'll have to do it again.

I cannot agree more about the quantities ... I was online at 1am chatting to [livejournal.com profile] feistyredhead and [livejournal.com profile] mr_flay because my stomach was still too busy digesting to allow me to sleep ...

Very fun night out in great company. Please survive another year.

Glad you enjoyed it, sirrah. yes, I had the sit around and digest experience, too. To the extent that I sat and watched Enterprise rather than go to bed.

Sorry we didn't get much of a chance to chat; maybe I should look up an auspicious non birthday-related date and organise something for a little later in the year at the same venue, by which time [livejournal.com profile] feistyredhead will be back in circulation and can come along as well.

Strangely enough, I too have a birthday this year (and according to Shakespeare, it's my half way point) though some inconsiderate people have made it unlikely that I'll be celebrating it in London.

However, the possibility of organising several small celebrations (one of which could be in Clapham or points south) sounds like a fun way to spend September.

It striketh me therefore that we should pin Jarane to the floor and pour alchol and dainty edibles down his throat by way od celebration.

Of course that means that you will have to be there....

Ahhh ... but that would involve it being Jarane's birthday too.

Though I think celebrating my birthday at any of Stratocanthus's parties will be an event.
