[Play] Wine, Rather Than Whine
Random culture has been the theme for the past couple of weeks, with doses of film, theatre, high dining and the IMF. Watched the most excellently unpolished Series 7 with Matt, Sarah and Maryanne a couple of weekends back - Big Brother meets Running Man in a far more believable fashion
Gathered a posse last weekend for The Forbidden City at The Esplanade - excellent use of props, good acting and a new position for the Kama Sutra, progressive orgy with man on top and guardsmen assist! Afterwards wandered to Zambuca for a fine meal, broken only by absenthe all over the bar and the airport-like security measures as the hotel the restaurant was in was playing host to the IMF. After-party at Insomnia, where I played with the fact that my hair is becomming a minor celebrity
Dinner on Thursday was a slightly belated gathering of some of my graduate intake to $Work - Christine, Rai, Mike and Damian - celebrating five years terms of service. Although they stopped giving out Monte Blancs last year we managed to console ourselves with a grand meal at Graze. I had a ginger wine oyster shooter with cucumber oil to start, followed by a wagyu beef sirloin that was fabulous in texture and taste
Ended the week with a whole caboodle of people at a birthday dinner for Linda at Coriander Leaf, though with an early finish because I've been sorting out things for the London data centre power down
Predominantly lazy weekend spent predominantly offline and ensconced in my appartment, doing nothing I really should be doing. Grand
