Things I did last week.
On Monday I went to choir and sang music by Elgar and Freddie Mercury. I went there via East Ham this time, since I've given myself a project of trying out all the small Indian restaurants along the High Street. I started with Hyderabadi Spice, where I had a very good biryani. (Haven't written the review yet since I need to go back and clear up some confusion over their billing practices.)
On Tuesday I was inspired by a Shaun Hill recipe to make seared scallops with lentil sauce. I used leftovers from the dhal I made last Tuesday to make the sauce. It worked pretty well; I hadn't been sure it was possible to sear frozen scallops without overcooking them, but they turned out fine.
On Wednesday I went for an epic two-hour dim sum lunch at Dragon Castle with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

thekumquat, and the quatlet. Then amuchmoreexotic and I headed south down the Northern Line to take some RGL photos and visit some pubs in Clapham. We then met up with ewan and mjg59 for drinks at the Tooting Tram & Social followed by curry at Radha Krishna Bhavan.
On Thursday I looked at the Tooting Tram & Social website to see which other pubs in their chain (Antic) we didn't have yet on RGL, and realised there was one near Liverpool Street, which is a short bus ride from me and technically on the way to the pub I was meant to be going to later. So I summoned some london.pm people and went and checked it out. It was subterranean, and rather noisy despite being deserted apart from us and the staff. Turn the bloody music down a bit! Then I went on to the Pakenham Arms to meet the lovely (and post-exam)superpitching. Other friends turned up too!
On Friday I mostly sat around going "ow, my womb".doop persuaded me to order a takeaway from Everest Inn in the evening.
On Saturday I worked, and on Sunday I rested.

P.S. Typing hurts more than knitting and reading do.
