A trolly full of chocolate
A fairly quiet day today, with Sprinkles getting ready for her return tomorrow. We did have an amazing trip to Waitrose today however, where Sprinkles bought £45 worth of "Cadberrys" and other chocolate bars to take back to her pals. You like your chocolate, observed the lady on the checkout. I contented myself by scoring a jar of limited edition Guinness Marmite.
Then home to drop the tons of chocolate off and off to Riddle and Finns where we had a late fishy lunch. Sprinkles getting her knife and fork into some brill for the first time. Good service, and fresh and herby food. I noticed the owner of Mama Cherry's happened to be in there too, which must be some sort of recommendation.
In the evening Brian Anton and Anna came around for a big night out. Sprinkles getting people to smell the Vera Wang for Men fragrance she'd bought me. There is something utterly disreputable about asking people to smell your Wang, but it does smell rather nice. Then off to a couple of pubs for a brace of cheeky beers (Sprinkles acquitting herself well and cackling with laughter with Anna) before heading off to the St James bistro in Kemptown.
More mountains of lovely grub there and we had champagne and a bit of a feast to celebrate Sprinkles' last night. Anna busy trying to play cupid for Brian and the flirty waiter. We got talking to a bloke in the restaurant called Sean whose partner had abruptly got up and left midway through their meal. It turns out Anton and Sean knew each other in Ealing when they were teenagers.
Then, with Sean in tow (but sadly not the waiter), we all got cabs off to the Eddy for a final drink late at night. Very altogethery and fun, and I think a fitting last night in England for Sprinkles.
