I’m now 25 and 5 days old. Its very much like being 24 and 360 days old; I guess birthdays are always a bit like that. I’ve had quite an exciting few days though. As I previously mentioned my delightful other half took me to a restaurant – the location of which I was unaware of. It ended up being La Trompette in Chiswick, a resturant which has been extremely highly commended by the most reliable of sources and the food was astounding. It really is a wonderful restaurant and I highly recommend it.

The present list currently stands at – A t-shirt, a battery, a magnet, a screw and a small length of wire (from flat mates); a hat, a copy of Vladimir Ashkenazy playing Bach’s 48 preludes and fugues and a copy of Delia Smith’s complete cookery course from Libby; the fees for Aberystwyth music festival and a cheescake tin from my parents; some aftershave from my grandmother; a cookery book from Libby’s parents; and half of Beethoven’s Sonatas, all of Chopin’s Nocturnes and half of Shostakovich’s Preludes and Fugues from me. All in all a damn fine set

Its true. I’m rubbish! I’ve done lots of exciting things and have not blogged about any of them. So – this is an attempt to, in the style of Shostikovich, respond to justified critisism.

Tomorrow is my birthday (I’m 25 on the 25th – isn’t that neat!). Libby is taking me out to dinner this evening and I have no idea where! I know its not Claridges, cause we can’t afford it, I don’t think its origin, cause we’ve been there before. Similarly I dont’ think its Mosaique or Andrew Edmunds – for similar reasons. Its all rather mysterious.

Tomorrow we shall be conveining at Ben Crouch’s tavern from 7pm. Do attend if you can. Much beer will be drunk

On Saturday I have tickets to the Nat West final at Lords which is rather exciting too. All in all it should be a very exciting weekend!
