So... after a hellish day at work which finished with a grown man sobbing down the phone at me, after he had accused me of being homophobic and had kept me behind after work (I don't get paid after 5pm people!! Grrr...), I headed home and had five seconds to have a shower and get changed before Jim and I headed down the local to meet up with Denis, Karen, Nal and H. It was H's birthday celebrations and so we headed into town for dinner at
Salvador and Amanda. It's a tapas bar, and not too bad considering. It has an interesting decor and the food was great. I recommend their lamb and their baby eels (a Karen suggestion done good... they are yummy!).
We headed up to Cafe Nero in Soho before heading back for a night cap at the local.
Today has been just another day at work, but I was pleased at lunch to see 4 people wearing Obama "Progress" t shirts. Go Obama!!!!!!!!!! :D We live a whole continent away and yet still we are waiting eagerly to hear who wins the American election. Did we used to get this excited when Truman or Eisenhower got in? I wonder...
Yes, Obama won and by a huge margin. It's a relief to have this campaign over at last -- it's been going on almost two years -- and to have the outcome we wanted. I didn't dare trust all those polls the past few weeks. But they were correct.
ReplyDeleteI know, I walked to work this morning with a smile on my face thinking that the America I used to idolise may just be back :D
