Spring breaks
So it was the Duopoly meet-up on Saturday. It's an on-line community I'm a member of for those not in the know. Met some new people and saw some familiar faces. Lunch was in some classy little number near Covent Garden, specialising in Pizzas. The name escapes me for now. Fire and Stone or something? I had a 'Peking' which was basically shredded roast duck, hoi sin sauce, spring onions and cucumber. It's one of my favourite Chinese dishes so I had to give it a go, and it lived up to it's expectations. Next port of call was the classy Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington. Museums aren't normally my cup of tea I have to be honest, but I liked the 'Medieval' display. Some amazing artefacts in there. We wondered how on Earth they got these massive pillars in there from Rome I think. Very spectacular. From there the day trippers including me hung around Soho getting tanked whilst the travellers went back to their hotels for a freshen up ready for the evening. A private room had been booked for the bash, which was to celebrate 5 years of the forum and a buffet and Birthday cake was laid on as well as party games which was all very hilarious after several more drinks! I even won a prize! lol
Sunday was quality because although I didn't get to watch the game with my French colleague, we beat the French and interrupted their grand slam chances at the 6 Nations! Excellent game. Looks unlikely we can win the title now but it's still in with a shot. I'm expecting a heavy score against the Welsh this Saturday! :p
Last night I went with my French colleague Ludovic to The Halfmoon in Putney to see my supervisor from work play in an acoustic evening. He plays guitar with a female vocalist, and although they went on second and the atmosphere hadn't built yet, it was still a top performance. I haven't seen him play before but I hope to do so more in the future. They hung around for a couple more acts but had to get off, but me and Ludo stayed for a few more after that. Acoustic isn't always my cup of tea but it was a very nice venue with some great artists, all doing 3 songs each. Never been to Putney either before but it was very enchanting. School night drinking is never good though. It was the worst I've ever been! :op
