Things I did last week

On Monday I had a North London adventure! I'd intended to have lunch at Jai Shri Krishna, but it was closed, so I bought a few groceries at the Turnpike Lane Food Hall and wandered up towards Wood Green (via the Big Green Bookshop) to see what I could see. I didn't hold out much hope of finding anything interesting, since Wood Green High Street is basically chain central; I did spot a tiny restaurant with only Chinese writing on the frontage, but the menu looked uninspiring. I ended up having a bowl of decent enough pho at a Vietnamese restaurant called Ha Long Bay.

I then wandered southwards into Harringay and popped into the Old Ale Emporium and the Garden Ladder, to update the RGL reviews. The Old Ale Emporium had been done up since my last visit; it's looking pretty nice now. Finally I had a quick dinner at a Bulgarian restaurant called The Village, before getting the Overground to Leyton for choir.

I can't remember what I did on Tuesday and Wednesday. Probably just work. Oh, I did cook pig's ears, in collaboration with [personal profile] bob.

On Thursday I went on another North London adventure! This time to Hampstead in the company of [personal profile] ewan, [personal profile] superpitching, and [livejournal.com profile] claudacity. We had lunch in the Olde White Bear, coffee (and tea) in Ginger and White, beer (and cider) in the Holly Bush and the Duke of Hamilton, and finally dinner (and sake) in Jinkichi.

I can't remember what I did on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (I'm writing this a week late, and backdating it). I think maybe I did some programming on the Discworld MUD, but I'm really not sure.
