High land, hard rain...
Nov. 14th, 2009 08:32 pmPerfectly pleasant weekend so far. I'd made myself available for drinks in the West End last night, but ended up dodging my own night out in favour of a very pleasant meal upstairs at the Chip. Last time I was there the food was pretty underwhelming, but everything was pretty good last night, with the exception of my ham and lentil soup (too salty). ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
unblinkered's pork belly suffered from being merely good, but L's crab salad was a misnomer - it was actually a full crab, dressed, with a side of potato salad. E's beef hough was pretty good, and my salmon nigh on perfect. We split a bottle of wine, had desserts and coffee, and headed back to ours through the cold, cold rain.
E and L left before 1 a.m., and I had a lovely long lie till almost 10, and then we headed out to do some bank stuff and then into town via the Chip for some bar food (excellent stovies).
I spent about 45 minutes in Forbidden Planet catching up on the DC and Marvel universes. Nice to see Carol Denvers back in the saddle as Ms Marvel (I've always had a soft spot for Marvel's first feminist superhero) and I finally read Grant Morrison's last Animal Man - I was delighted to see Lock 27 (a pub on the canal, about a mile from here) heavily featured.
Got back to the flat around four, did some tidying, and got out to the gym for another 400 calories burnt and a float in the pool.
The GI diet is going ok. I haven't actually lost any weight, but I haven't felt hungry either. I also managed to get into the 36" waist Levi's I bought around a year ago. Not easily, but I did get into them. I'll be happy when they fit comfortably...
