i saw in 2009 in some style chez ostberg. i think perhaps my reflections on the evening might have be slightly clearer had i not decided to mainline port between 1130 and midnight. as befits the season, i have today been thinking of resolution and revolution. #1 for 2009 is a tidier inbox at work, and if achieved that would be some feat indeed. on nye eve e and i went to le cafe anglais for dinner. the food was quite good, with the celebrated parmesan custard and anchovy toast particularly toothsome. however the bread was appallingly stale, and the service dreadful. i think i shall not return to try more of the appetising menu, which brings my resolution count to two. when more comes to mind i shall share, if appropriate for public consumption. happy new year!
