That was quite a busy weekend for me. Had chinese takeaway and watched Wolf Creek and The Descent on Friday. Both were classy and clever horror movies which deserved their '18' ratings ( a 'proper' horror film can't have a '15' certificate, imo). The Descent just pipped Wolf Creek at the post as the scariest with me physically jumping and spilling popcorn several times.
On saturday I pootled along for a 2nd consultation with my tattooist in Exmouth Market. The needle-work starts this Friday. It was a sunny yet bitterly cold day but I still enjoyed a stroll down Farringdon and through Clerkenwell and Smithfield and onto the Millenium Bridge. On my return I found what I thought was another Banksy piece but it turned out to be by dbase, still good though. There was a huge queue at old skool Italian deli Olgas Stores so I didn't get any tomato bread and mortadella, so, as it was tea time, I stepped into the Indian Veg BhelPoori in Chapel Market and indulged in big plates of veggies cooked southern style (that's Kerala rather than Georgia). I hadn't been to this place in years and was amazed that the quality was still top-notch and the price hadn't changed from £2.95 for the all-you-can-eat buffet. I got home as the rugby on TV was finishing (I'd gone out to avoid it) and watched The Brothers Grimm with Darren. Sorry to be so obvious but it was a real stinker and therefore grim.
On Sunday I woke with a longing to mosy round Brick Lane and Spitalfields and have a salt beef bagel lunch but this notion passed while I walked the dog. I then fancied a full Sunday roast from the Grasshopper Inn in Kent (I was a live-in barman here for 6 months in 1984) year but Darren wasn't keen so this idea was binned too. We settled upon a drive to Enfield to visit the Krispy Kreme outlet (the 'hot' light was on!!). Lunch was a large coffee and two highly delicious donuts. Nutritious eh. In the evening I went to a Readers Wifes birthday party. Happy birthday Mark (who was the 'dish' playing the tunes?). More chinese takeaway and Desperate Housewives on telly then bed for midnight. Nice one.
