To some it is music...

Monday - Day three

Heather and I decided that we were not going to ride into the city with Steph as she went to work. We knew we needed to sleep, so….we didn’t get out of bed until 130p. Yeah we needed to sleep. So it was a really lazy day. Jason was at work and so was Steph so we just hung out at the house until it was time to leave to go to dinner. We got ready and headed out of the house at 500p. We were supposed to meet up with Steph at work to see her office but we were running late so we all converged at the tube and went to a pub.

The pub was one that was recommended by Jamie Cullum on his website, they have live jazz there so we went and had dinner and listened to jazz. The dinner was awesome, lamb with mint yoghurt and couscous, and fish cakes with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. The desserts were good as well, butterscotch sticky pudding with caramel sauce, brownie with hazelnut ice cream, and figs with crème fraishe. All very yummy. After dinner we headed up the hidden staircase and sat down to enjoy some jazz. It was quite a production, there was a violin, cello, bass, bass saxophone, clarinet, flute, trumpet, keyboard and drums. They all had music stands so it felt like you were at a production of some sort. They played a few songs and then brought up a Norwegian vocalist who sang a few songs in her native tongue and a few in English. Let’s just say that I could appreciate that kind of jazz but it just wasn’t the kind you could tap your foot to. We enjoyed it but left after the first set, it was late and we were tired. Walk, tube, walk and we were home. We sat up and chit-chatted and watched music videos and went to bed. A laid back but very fun day.
