i have passed a delightful weekend: toasted cheese at frenandez and wells; el bulli 2003 and 2004 at foyles; weekend ft; dan and lizzy o and potato dauphenoise; party; dancing; walking; dim sum; and new blue hoody. el bulli book actually alarmingly great if expensive so best enjoyed in foyle's basement.

the weekend i have been broadly sensually engaged in the garden. also tried a new curry place last night which was good, but perhaps slightly sub-tayyabs. lots to do today, so this will remain brief. goodbye.

finally today i reaped my reward for generall all-over-it-like-a-rashness of the state of credit. a long hoped for day indeed. went up to dalston for kebab last night which was thoroughly delicious. quite tired today though, which makes my sub-prime related heroics all the more laudable. but then i think of my exams and everything and my general air of smugness fades. in other news i am loving alphaville. this post about my disgraced former ex-mp i would rate particularly highly.

news from november - it all goes on alright. been doing some work old time work on my old time job. it is comforting to call the same guy and ask the same things but is it worth while. to be honest my hard won optimism for all things insurance wains into ennui on occasion these days. maybe it is just slight deferred hangover form last night or the weather or something like that. i am making a variation on potato pizza for dinner which may be great. i am certainly hoping so.

i think i would rate the square as one of the best places to eat i know (alongside midsummer house and comptoir gascon, perhaps). went for lunch today and it was super. lovely foamy smokey bacon gak, a bit of naughty goosey slab, veal rump + sweatbreads + smoked mash potato and a pasionfruit souffle with lemon ice cream (unlike me i know, but was sort of shared in that e ate about two spoonfuls). i am growing more utterly gross by the minute. still listening to joy division incessantly. that is all.
