Thanks to a friend, I found out that Eddie Izzard was doing some stand-up in a small London theatre last night and got tickets for me and 3 friends. The start time was 23:15, so we went for dinner first - yay, the Pizza Express on St. Martin's Lane does the "Etna" pizza which is heavenly. So, I scoffed bruschetta, an Etna and a couple of scoops of really nice chocolate ice-cream there. Repairing to the theatre bar, there were drinkies and James Nesbitt. Which was nice.
I think the wine in the bar may have been a mistake, because towards the end of Eddie's set (oh, we were in the 4th row back from the stage :o)) I, er, kinda dropped off a bit. It seems I didn't miss much, but still *blush*. I was glad I'd decided to take a hotel room for the night rather than schlep home and get to bed really late as I had to be in Wimbledon town for 12:30 today and given that I wake up at 06:45 every morning, I'd rather get to bed earlier where possible and a hotel room wasn't much more expensive than a taxi - missing the last tube was a definite risk and I'm still not keen on night buses by myself.
Anyhoo... good night. Very. And tomorrow is the Chinese New Year parade in town so it's all go this weekend.
