the rest of wednesday

After the wandering and the Literary Cafe thing in the morning, I went In the afternoon withbellajonez and Peter C (who used to be a producer for the BBC and has lots of interesting stories) on a reccie field trip around Kensington Olympia, looking for cheap exotic restaurants for the u.c.s.m. newsgroup's dinner after the Mac Expo in November [1]. We tramped around, had a look end enquired in various interesting looking Persian [2] restaurants ("can you withstand a party of 24 geeks descending on you on a Friday evening?"), went to a Persian sweet shop(danger..) and ended up in a noodle bar -cheap and tasty, which is right up my street. Took the bus back, stopped at the Dev. A quiet day involving lots of walking, meeting with friends and finding nice corners of London and cheap interesting eating places. Not wildly exciting, certainly not like chelseachainsaw's stories :D, but a chilled out pleasant day nonetheless [3]...

[1] Now I realise that Mac Expo is not in November but in October and clashes with Whitby... and I am going to Whitby..

[2] They're all 'Persian', not 'Iranian' restaurants. One feels it might be rude to ask why....

[3] apart from all that walking, tramping all around London. But I like London.

Iranian restaurants? Isn't that supposed to be a poor starving nation? What exactly is their cuisine? "Ratta ona sticka"? :-p

Iran is certainly not a poor starving nation, although it is not a 'first world' country either; they are a very large oil producer, amongst other things. They also have a very ancient culture, partly smothered by the radical islamic Ayatollahs that have governed that country since the late seventies.

'Tis alright, one never knows until one learns.

(and then you realise there is vastly more that you don't know....)

i reckon any writer may be known to embelish the truth on occasion ;)

Maybe I should have said 'accounts' rather than 'stories':D I didn't mean to say you were making them up or anyfin, you know:P

life is very very quiet today but ok... except for a few alarming lesson cancellations, which is not good. I need the money....
