Head Over Heels
Dec. 3rd, 2008 08:11 pmOne of my oldest LJ friends is visiting London this week; ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
desayuno_ingles, after years of living in New York, has decided to try the warmer climates of Spain and taste a little bit of European life, but not before paying England a little visit. She arrived last Saturday and has been staying with her boyfriend Mr Desayuno at the end of the Metropolitan line, departing this Sunday for Madrid. We had brunch last Sunday in the S&M (Sausage & Mash) by Spitalfields Market then hung out at the Ten Bells until my Vagabonds hangover called me home.
Yesterday, we cruised the shopping mall in Canary Wharf for some Christmas cards, then met Kevin and Mr Desayuno at my flat for dinner, wine and conversations ranging from celebrity (Mr Desayuno's father is a well known Sesame Street cast member!) to music. Mr Desayuno told us how he briefly stalked Morrissey in the 90s, when he worked as a truck driver in L.A. He also met Kurt Vonnegut, had dinner with Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner when they were in Electronic, and generally met all kinds of celebrities thanks to his dad's connections. We washed down the chicken parmesan, brocolli, sweet corn and coffee cake with three bottles of good wine.
Kevin and I left them sleeping in the guestroom this morning with the plan that they'd lock the door on the way out and slip my keys through the letterbox. At work,desayuno_ingles texts me that Mr Desayuno decided my ever-clogged kitchen sink needed to be fixed; I get home and the two crazies not only sorted that out but pretty much cleaned the entire kitchen! Houseguests made of Win.
