This evening I will be...

Meeting a friend for dinner at the Spitalfields branch of the S&M cafe - no, not that!  Sausage and Mash! nom nom nommy.

The S&M cafe is a traditional British cafe serving hearty portions of your favourite food ‘Just like Grandma used to make!’ at affordable prices.  http://www.sandmcafe.co.uk/

I think I have already decided what to have to eat!!!

Then, assuming we don't get bogged down by all the lovely puds, we are planning to go to the V&A Friday Late

Victoria and Albert Museum

This months theme is Retro Hollywood Glamour - this is how the website describes it -

This August, bask in 1950s Hollywood glamour with the likes of Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando. With film screenings, performances by Fitzrovia Radio Hour and an Alfred Hitchcock quiz, travel back in time to the age of Technicolor


There are numerous workshops being held, screenings of 1950s Hollywood trailers, a film quiz as well as tours of the Grace Kelly Exhibition. I've heard that this worth seeing, so I am hoping we are there in time to get on one of the tours.

So, the outfit has been picked, table reserved and positive thoughts are being sent out to ensure that the wind and rain ease off whilst I am out!

Maybe some of you will be there?  If you spot me, come over and say Hi!
