Out to Hammersmith, along King's Road. A keeper for next year. The Oxfam shop has books we'd love to take but have no room for. Next year must come with empty suitcases!
In the evening meet Alexander and Flora for tapas at Tierra Brindisa in Soho. More or less kitty corner to the John Snow pub, site of a large protest last night, billed as a kiss-in, following the eviction the previous evening of a gay couple caught kissing in the pub. Lots of people drinking outside tonight and no commotion. Lovely seeing A and F again - in between their trips to Antigua and Cuba. Food known for its quality not its quantity - but very nice. J with scallops and I with prawns and shared potato tortilla. A and F with lamb. Also herbed toast. Very good. Then to Italia for coffee. Soho alive and humming. We don't go out enough at night! Brief panic as I think I've left the new mobile behind but no - it's in my handbag all along. Could the confusion have anything to do with the two bottles of Spanish red?
