The old days

Last night Chris and went out to Sitges. We haven't been there for ages so it was nice to be back. We got a lovely reception from Veronica and the other guys that work there. It was quite quiet and it felt a bit like it did when we first started going there. I guess the season is over.

It always makes me laugh... they have these video displays on before the drag show which alternate between music videos, little compilations featuring pictures of the staff, upcoming event etc AND clips from America's Funniest Home Videos. You know, people falling over etc. The best part is how everyone watches them and falls about laughing at the silliest things. It's infectious and you can't help but join in.

The show was the same as usual, not terribly inspiring, but fun to pass the time. We didn't stay right to the end, the endless bows and goodbye sequences can be a little off putting. Seriously, they can go on and on.

The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US

Ølsen in Buenos Aires

Well Ølsen last night was great. It's in a stunning old warehouse with extremely tall ceilings and Scandinavian simplicity. The garden is a particular treat and a delight to enjoy when arriving. The food was good, although I wouldn't say that best and possibly not worth the price, it's not cheap, but the sharing starters with mini vodka shots were very good. After Ølsen, I came home and watched telly. I seem to becoming nocturnal.
