dodgyhoodoo!
My mother did not eatdodgyhoodoo's head, and brought me a bottle of A1 sauce (you cannot get A1 here, and it is much better than HP sauce, so I am happy and we must have steak soon). Later, we went for lovely Italian food (which dodgyhoodoo describes far better than I could here; suffice it to say that I've been raving about the restaurant in question for over a year and was still not overselling it).
Today, we are looking at a trip to the London Zoo. Yes, there is a 40% chance of rain. Still, as it's half-term, it's probably better to go when the weather's not great and miss the crowds a bit. One thing I hadn't realised is that the Zoological Society of London does free Scientific Meetings every so often, and next month's is on the benefits, drawbacks and overall usefulness of breeding endangered species in captivity and releasing them into the wild. June's is on why species go extinct. Must go to those.
I have discovered (or rather, been reminded) thatdodgyhoodoo does not like amusement parks. At all. He says he is a wuss. This sucks because I love amusement parks, haven't been to one in aeons and will now likely never go to one again 'cos I've got no one to go with. Wah.
Anyway. First order of business is brunch -- French toast, my brunchtime speciality. Then we go out, probably hit the zoo (crowds and weather permitting) and then go off to Ed's for burgers and scandalously fattening milkshakes and then to the sports bar in the Trocadero for a couple of games of pool (dodgyhoodoo birthday tradition).
[Edit: As it's now ten past one, and we'd be blowing £15 apiece for a 3.5 hr trip to the zoo at most, we're probably going to wait on the zoo until another time this week. The rest of the birthday treat stuff still goes ahead, though...]
