If music be the food of love...
Jun. 7th, 2005 08:37 amFriday evening saw me whizzing down to London (again) to meet up with
snow_leopard before she departs for Northern climes. Requiring a feeding venue near Regents Park, we settled on Pizza Express. I thought I'd risk a "pizza bianca", which was described as "pizza with a twist", while not actually telling me what the twist was.
It turns out that, for reasons I can't hazard, Pizza Express have started serving a pizza in which the tomato and mozarella have been replaced by béchamel sauce. Which is weird, but actually rather nice. No points to the restaurant for having a chip and PIN machine which is so Fearsome and Complicated that it completely outwitted me, and Snow_Leopard had to fend it off with cash (and after I'd promised to buy her dinner, too :( ). I assure you the machine was extremely Fearsome; it is not that I am incompetent and didn't read the instructions properly.
Regents Park proximity was required because we were heading on down to see a production of Twelfth Night in the open air theatre there. Did you know there was a purpose-built great big red theatre in Regents Park ? No, neither did I. It comes fully equipped with squashy damp seats and a bar which looked at us funny and claimed to be closed.
( ... play on! )
