Art, Curry, Pub, Floor...
May 31, 2008

The last week of May proved a little less busy than the rest of it had been. Apart from a brief visit to the Untitled Artists Fair in the Old Chelsea Town Hall with Viv. Which was followed by a curry at Nirvana which is, strangely, situated underneath the Vivienne Westwood shop at World's End... and wasn't overcrowded. Still, apart from the soup that I had [I can't remember coming across a soup on the menu in an Indian before and assumed it was going to be sort of Thai like as it was noodly... It wasn't.] It was all good.

So, we thought we'd spend a relatively quiet Saturday trying out a local-ish watering hole that we had been intending to visit for some time. Engineering works meant that the relatively short journey it should have been to Sydenham ended up taking us about an hour. Still it was worth the trek. Although the Dolphin is a fine example of a gastropub [looks good, tastes good etc...] it really is in an unusual location. There doesn't appear to be any other reason, that I can think of, to go to Sydenham other than the Dolphin... And we live in Tulse Hill!

Deciding to walk back from Sydenham might not have been a great idea. It wasn't especially hot but it was bloody humid and I hadn't bargained for the fact that half the journey is uphill. Luckily we had factored in a stop at The Mansion to see what the White House had done to it since their relatively quiet takeover earlier in the month. Pretty much nothing, other than change the wallpaper it would appear. Still, we met Kev & Karol there... and at about 9.15am the following morning I woke up on their floor. Weekend over.
