Sustainable tagliatelle

Toby lad's birthday today. I'm looking forward to seeing him back in Blighty soon.

Up late this morning feeling a little groggy. Pottered about for a couple of hours before meeting Simon at Brighton Station and we headed up together to Kings Cross, and the Acorn House restaurant. All the Acorn's food is sustainably sourced and is very well cooked too. So there are mackerel and pork and lots of interesting vegetables such as samphire on view. I had pea soup and a light tagliatelle. We were there to meet Pooran Desai OBE who is responsible for the BedZED project, and a new development in Brighton. A very interesting guy, who I may do an interview with shortly. The Cat with the Hat, wearing a brown straw hat today, turned up and we all had a nice meal and several chin-stroking conversations.

After a couple of hours of talking we shot off to Victoria, where I met Mex for a cheeky beer and a pizza. (Fortunately I'd only grazed at lunch). Lots of news to swap, and various gossiping about the people she's put me in touch with lately, her colourful career, and watching the Eurovision Song Contest with pirates.

Then back to Brighton for a spot of footie watching on TV. Felt groggy and coldy this morning but curiously much better by the end of the day. Spoke to Mum who is having an expert in Harley Street work on her tooth. Every day is a dentist day at the moment which is poor, but she is getting excellent treatment.
