A Night of Catching Up

Spent tonight (yes, I know it's morning now ;-)), down in London seeing an old friend from Uni, Jane. I've not seen her since last Christmas, it being one of those occasional annual events. Her working in Aberdeen doesn't help either. So when I'd heard she was back down South for the winter it was time to arrange another get together :-D)

Dragged around the shops, looking at all the cool gadgets. It's the one thing I'd miss if I moved away from Stevenage back home, and that's the shear variety of stuff you can find in London. I'd challenge anyone to spend the day shopping this time of year and not come away with something for everyone. There's just so much to choose from. The best one I saw was battery powered tea lights :-D)

Dinner, as always, was in a fantastic diner, somewhere I've no idea where, but they've a website - Eagle Bar Diner. I had a Tequila burger, a very delicous fusion of beef, tequila, and mushrooms, mmmmmm :-p.

I also got to see the flat. Which is no real boast, except Jane's had it 4 years now. An indication of the lack of frequency of our visits.

A long chat, catching up on what's happened this year, why life is so shit, and some very nice champagne. Then a struggle home on the tube, and the busiest train home I've ever been on.

Anyway's, it's now very early in the morning, and I've got to be up for work at 7, urgh :-(
