General - Stepney Stumble
It wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had, in fact it ranks up with ‘o, lets blow thousands on hifi kit’, but somehow staying in Stepney last night appeared the correct thing to do at the time.
I spent yesterday afternoon attempting to persuade an ATW assessor of the merits of some kit then we went on a little drink around Stepney including the Wetherspoons and l’Oasis a pretentious gastro pub. Talk about extremes but the l’Oasis had plenty of malts and some very drinkable Adnams ales.
After a steady 9 or so pints we indulged in a double malt or two then went to a rather nice but sparsely furnished Indian café and purchased a range of delicacies to take back. I was particularly enthralled with the alu chop and the tasty lamb thingies. O G projuced a bottle of Grants which may have contributed to me feeling a little unwell when the crewel world woke me.
I got back home not long ago and am about to head off to the Amardo for Paul’s leaving shindig. I have to be on form on Sunday as I sail from Swansea in the evening on the overnight ferry to Cork. Thankfully Alan D and I will not be sharing cabins as some work colleagues have mentioned in jest. There is also the small matter of a new work outfit purchase before I head off as my trip to the dry cleaners didn’t happen to day for obvious reasons. So its see you on the other side from my liver and BBFN from the part of me still able to think and talk.
