Life in London for a not-quite-middle-aged gay Australian guy. Oh, the glamour of it all!

A Little Light Music


Last night we met up on Southbank with Louise and Jo for dinner. We hadn't seen the girls for quite a while and they were bothing looking really well. They've been exercising a lot and even given up booze for 6 weeks!! (hmmmm - maybe that's why we hadn't seen them?) We went to Tamesa at the OXO tower, which was a pretty good choice if I do say so myself. Good food, attentive service without being in your face, not too busy and a good wine list. What more could you want? It was even considered for a significant birthday next year, but we balked at the £300 charge for a private room. We had a good catchup and talked about important things like house prices/job satisfaction/summer and winter holidays/haircuts/trips to Oz.



It all went too quickly, and as the girls sped off into the London night in order to catch a train to Brighton, Paul and I walked along the south bank of the Thames and dodged muggers and boarders in hoodies. I wasn't cold, but then alcohol's good to me like that.

The Royal Festival Hall is getting a facelift, and part of that is a new installation that enables you to be a part of an orchestra - we sat on a light cube and played excerpts from Tchaikovsky's 4th. It was good fun. You can just see the top of the BA London Eye in the photo I took.
