long long week. Eventually came to an end, and I feel just like collapsing (yeah, even missing geekdinner and/or Ben Katchor at the ICA don't seem big issues now) but I had one very lovely experience at lunchtime: there was a beautiful sun and enjoyed a short walk in the Marylebone station area, then went to a pub, had a decent fish&chips and a pint of IPA (really really light bitter) and spent twenty minutes or so just eating, sipping my pint, eyes closed and sun gently reminding me that yes, life on earth is really due to it.
Oh, and on my way home I discovered another really nice corner of London: James street. It's just out of Bond street station, and features plenty of nice venues and a lively ecosystem. At least on a late october friday evening.
Ahhh - how nice! I had exactly that impulse today, but was forced to resist. I guess you must know this spot in St. Christopher's Place, nearby: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ie=UTF8&om=1&z=19&ll=51.515102,-0.150225&spn=0.000813,0.00181&t=h
