Come on Friday....

Its only Wednesday..

..but I am already tired and have run out of motivation. It took me ages to get out of bed this morning and I was late for work. That is not very good. I hate it when I just cannot get my self to care whether I am on time or not. I am going out for a friend's birthday tonight to the Wine Rooms in Notting Hill. I have heard really good things about it so I am very optimistic. But I will revert with MY opinion once I see what it is all about. Its location (just around the corners from Notting Hill station) is definitely an advantage, for the rest we will just have to wait and see..

Looking for a bar (as opposed to a pub) in NW 1 and 3

Speaking of nice bars, I have a bit of an issue with my neighbourhood which I would like to share. Last Friday evening I put on my little black dress, my high heels and my make-up and braved the cold to go out and have a nice drink with my boyfriend. We tried Gilgamesh in Camden town which although a restaurant, also has a perfectly nice bar (with special perks such as prawn crackers and edamame as bar snacks rather than just nuts and olives). The door man was quite rude and insisted that they only let people in who had dinner reservations even when I gave him my special "nice girl" smile. To get to the point we then tried to come up/find an alternative place to have a drink which was not a stinky pub or even a nice pub, but to no avail.

We ended up having drinks at the Engineer, which I do like and is great for afternoon/relaxing drinks, but not so great for LBD, make-up, high heel boyfriend drinks..

It was fine..we had a good time in the end but.. it is a gap in the area's market. We need a bar in our neighbourhood. Pubs and student clubs are just not enough..

Work

I still have to get my work done before getting out for drinks but on a brighter note..just two working days left now before the weekend..
