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'm glad it was good and very grumblegrumble that D got in too late to really face the journey grumblegrumble. I would have loved some good food and conversation :)
BUT! BUT! Maybe we could arrange something another time? JFS is in Ilford and if we could arrange something that would be good. Maybe when I've finished decorating the flat you could both come up for tortilias ( spanish omlette cooked the right way by yours truly) bread and salad and wine and music and natter?
I definately want to meet you both :)

Sounds like a plan at some point! :-)

That sounds like an excellent idea :-)
