Clever conversation

After arriving in London on Tuesday night I met up with my dear friend and fellow blogger Philip for dinner and drinks. As usual our conversation covered the whole aspect from politics, current affairs, philosophy and history to blogging, travels, wine and plain old gabbing.

As the lifelong Londoner Philip usually picks the restaurant. This time we ended up at Pulcinella, a very charming Italian restaurant in Soho at Old Crompton Street. I had garlic bruschetta as starter and a lovely risotto with asparagus and wild mushrooms as main course. Also as usual we, or at least I, talked so much so my food went cold. Something one has to take as part of a brilliant and smart conversation. Afterwards we went to
Waxy’s for a quick drink before heading down to Charring Cross Station where we said goodbye. Hopefully we’ll manage to meet again soon. Having busy lives it’s a bit of a puzzle finding a time and place that suits the both of us, but when we do meet it is always very enjoyable.
