This & that

- Went to Bacchus last night with nou, uon, and rjw1. And it was very good indeed. They were happy to do a vegan version of their 9-course tasting menu (which all of us bar Bob had), although it did appear that the chef may have been making this up on the spot :-) (I note that Kake did warn them when booking!). I can't remember everything I ate, but particular highlights were the mushrooms (at various stages), some olivey stuff, the saffron rice pudding, and the chocolatey thing for dessert. But really, all of it was fabulous. We had the wine-accompaniment thing as well. Everyone should go there! Especially vegans - places that do vegan tasting menus should be encouraged.

- This morning I have a headache & achey neck & feel a little unwell. With the beginnings of bunged-up tubes. I think this is start-of-cold rather than overindulgence last night. Bah.

- I was tired enough on Monday that I tried to freewheel on the fixie, for the first time since about 2 days after I built it. Happily all that happened was I got a bit of a jolt as the bike gently reminded me Not To Do That. However, I concluded at that point that I need a break, & therefore have taken leave for tomorrow. Just in time, doubtless, for the cold to kick in. Bvgger.

- I am too scared to look at my diary to work out when I next actually have a free evening, because I know for a fact it's not until November at least. Error.

- Is it hometime yet? No, but it is lunchtime, so that's good.
