On Monday I had Ecuadorian lunch at El Rincon Quiteno in Holloway, then went shopping for Burmese groceries at Mum's House in Wood Green. After that, I trundled across to Walthamstow to have a half of locally-brewed beer in the Olde Rose and Crown before grabbing a quick bite to eat at Priya (RGL review to come) and then getting a bus down to choir in Leyton.

On Tuesday I cleared a backlog of admin stuff and had another (failed) bash at making almond burfi.

On Wednesday I went to the Ledbury in Notting Hill for [personal profile] ewan's birthday meal. The food was good, but the service was completely lacking in rhythm and terribly slow. [personal profile] superpitching and I left before dessert because it was getting on for midnight (and we'd sat down just after 8pm).

On Thursday I was in pain.

On Friday I tried to sort out some of my photos from the Ledbury, but there appears to be something weird going on with colour profiles in one or all of: Snow Leopard, the GIMP, Firefox, Preview, and Safari. (Yes, I know the default gamma has changed — I always used to set my gamma to 2.2 anyway, so I doubt it's that.)

On Saturday and Sunday I slept. A lot.

On Monday I went to choir, as is becoming traditional. It was brilliant, again. I decided not to sing in the concert on Saturday, since I've been to exactly three rehearsals and it's a DECADE since I last sang in a choir. People tried to talk me out of this by praising my sight reading, but I still didn't want to risk screwing up. Besides, there are performances in July I can sing in, instead, and I'll definitely be ready by then.

On Tuesday I made stuffed aubergines, tarka dhal, radish salad, and broccoli rice for dinner. It was v.g.

On Wednesday I made veggie chilli for dinner, using 1.5 scotch bonnet chillies in the process. I think I should have used 2.5.

On Thursday I did a catch-up Tube Walk, going from Eastcote to Rayners Lane. When I got to Rayners Lane, I had some tasty Sri Lankan food at Papaya. Then I went to drink beer with Phil and [personal profile] bob at the new location of the Wheatsheaf. Nine real ales including a mild!

On Friday I didn't do anything other than work (well, I did some knitting, and watched the season finale of Grey's Anatomy).

On Saturday I took some photos of the scarf I posted about last week. In the evening [personal profile] doop and I had a takeaway from Super Nova. The "gluten chicken with green peppers and onions" turned out to contain generous helpings of Sichuan peppercorns and dried red chillies, which was a very pleasant surprise. We might have to try eat-in here some time, and see if we can get access to their secret Chinese menu.

On Sunday I did some Bugfix Sunday bugfixing on the Discworld MUD.
