One of my oldest LJ friends is visiting London this week; [livejournal.com profile] 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, [livejournal.com profile] 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!

It seems that your friends need to friend me to read the other parts of when we hung out and my friends need to friend you. Heh! I always love to see how someone else records a hangout session.

We were glad to help and glad to come visit. I'll have to do so again.

P.S. I don't think dancing Saturday is the best idea, my flight's close to 1 p.m. and it's just too far away for me to feel comfortable getting there in time. Is Friday still possible?

Well, Friday is that gig by our friend. Why don't we all go to that and then see how we feel? To be honest, it looks unlikely we'll go clubbing (just because I never see these people and they are tons of fun hanging out, and I'm not sure they are into clubbing) but the place they are playing might have a club afterwards, and you can always dance to their music too! :-)

But, as I said, let's keep our options open and see how we feel. We can take Friday wherever way it wants to go.

Ah, that sounds great, actually. I just sorta want to go out, it doesn't have to be clubbing really. We'll email tomorrow and decide closer to whatever time we'll need to leave to get wherever we're to meet y'all.
