My Kinda Weekend
Jan. 29th, 2007 02:02 pm.. that was for sure.
Friday was the much anticipated Burns Supper chez![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nmgand ias- with lashings of astoundingly home made veggie and ordinary haggis, lots of nice people, single malts and some really fabby under-sugared cranachan. I was enjoying myself so much I made the fatal mistake of going on from red wine to whisky:-( elseware was very kind and put me in a taxi home :-)
Saturday was spent partly recovering from the inevitable hangover - I was so dehydrated I couldn't blow my nose!!! (TMI I know!!!) "It's the oats," saidelsewaresympathetically (and informatively). FInally dragged myself off to London to meet up with zarabeeand yalovetz.
Where we inaugurated the future SyZyGy Film Discussion Group by going to Darren Aaronofsky's The Fountain, which I've probably already written too much about elsewhere (if a turkey, a very good one to discuss) and went for v cheap and very excellent Vietnamese on Old Street (I have a menu somewhere but can't face finding it - but for me the highlight was the French/Chinese steak, fried in butter with south east asian spicing - fantastic!! I very tentatively had one beer abd felt much better :-)
I then turned up atbohemiancoast and malwen 's c midnight and was forcibly detained from going sensibly to bed. Instead we drank 2 bottles of very good wine while playing tennis on the Wii till 3.30 am. Finally I went to Waterloo c 5pm, via a detour to the ice rink at Canary Wharf, to get home and it was closed for a fire alert! helas! but by the time I walked there from Westminster (the tube
didn't stop at Waterloo) everthing was OK. Phew. Wow. It's like a mini adventure - the day TFL did NOT collapse!
Then I had a hot bath, played with the kitties, rang people and splurged on LJ.
That's my kinda weekend :-)
