Paul Linklater – Smooth Sailing and How
King Crimson – Live 2008
Editors – In This Light and On This Evening
Various – 100 Hits Dance Mix
To FOPP at lunchtime, armed with a token from last week’s Secret Santa...
Bought several presents for others along with the impressive new album by Editors (after some e-mail discussion on its merits with Macclesfield Craig) and a 5CD set of “dance hits”...
Tasty...
Also picked up two more Francois Truffaut films on DVD, “Bed and Board” and “Finally, Sunday!”....
Still not watched the other three recent purchases in the same series...
After a quick turnaround at Crispycat Towers, it was time for the annual “Reptile Xmas Night Out”...
Actually I don’t recall the last time we had one but, in the days of our record shop, the taxman allowed us one night out a year which could be put against the company as expenses...
This evening then, we made our way through the bitter cold to the inviting warmth of Le Di-Vin wine bar...
...then, after a cheeky wee aperitif each...
...upstairs to Le Petit Folie...
The largest portion of steamed mussels in the history of portions of steamed mussels was enjoyed by your correspondent...
...while the Exec Producer commenced with a tasty mushroom and tarragon brioche...
Mains comprised sirloin steak for me and rump of lamb for Anne, both accompanied by extremely tasty potatoes Dauphinoises, home made ratatouille and a little “pate” of vegetables...
Rounding things off was the delicious crème brulee...
I can assure you the Exec Producer enjoyed it much more than this moodily lit portrait might suggest...
All the above was of course accompanied by a lovely, and fitting, French Red...
Back home through the bitter cold to an excitable Meg the Black Cat...
Good times...
Highlight of the Day : The Reptile Night Out...
