I wanna be near you and blink in your light
Just back from a cracking night at Calistoga, Californian restaurant hidden in a side alley of Rose Street. You know, just down past the ‘sauna’.
We’re away tomorrow and for the long weekend, in Glasgow for a wedding. It’s going to be a bit new. Ostensibly a Muslim wedding but with certain obvious heresies — the groom’s family are Chinese, so there will be pork or chicken’s feet at the meal, possibly both. Because that’s tradition too.
Well, whatever happens the bride and groom are lovely people and I wish them all the best. I hope the events go without a hitch (apart from the obvious one). Here’s some Bell X1 to see you out, extolling the virtues of tea to a Boston audience and singing Flame.
I think chicken’s feet would have been groovy at our wedding, but we were firmly set in the keeping the parents happy camp then, and the feet would not have gone down well.
Hope they were tasty. It sounds as if a good time was had, from Helen’s Facebook status, at any rate!
