This weekend, I…

  • Eschewed the post work Friday drinks in favour of heading home for sundowners on the roof of our apartment building (an old school).
  • Took a leisurely stroll to Liverpool Street via: ** Broadway Market, for a crepe and to pick up some hot chorizo, which I then left in my bag all day. Sausagy. ** Columbia Road, popping in to a couple of galleries and gawping over Italian deli Campania Gastronomica. ** Brick Lane, where I finally got around to ordering the coaststand from Unto This Last and topped up my breakfast crepe with a delicious beigel. ** Spitalfields, where I popped in to Son of a Stag and picked up a nice shirt before trying (successfully for once) not to spend a fortune in Rough Trade and All Saints.
  • Took the tube into town and to make up for my earlier frugality, indulged in a surprisingly nice Jacket from Uniqlo.
  • Stuffed myself silly with about ten slices of Parma ham and a whole ball of Pontina Mozzarella from the Obika Mozzarella Bar in Selfridges. Food was delicious, service was absolutely shockingly poor.
  • Watched a lot of The Wire. A lot.
  • Decided to depress myself by watching Arsenal make a total hash of a promising opening 20 minutes against Chelsea, then got very, very drunk.
