But not with actual giants, I'm afraid...

First of all - thank you all you lovely people who commented on the last post - I wasn't fishing for compliments, was genuinely wondering whether I'd inadvertantly offended anyone - I'm not the master of tact and diplomacy always and it has been known in the past... Anyway, am no wiser, so think might just chalk it up as being 'one of those things'.

And so to the update.
Have been v slack bloggette recently (and possibly forever ;) ) so I thought I'd briefly fill you in on the Fascinating Story of My Life (anyone who doesn't care, please feel free to imagine that this post ends here.)

Last week was LBF's 30 birthday (my ToyBoy ;) ), so we spent much of the week in celebration...
On the actual day, we both celebrated by going to work and I went the extra mile by also going to a rehearsal and not getting home till about 10.30pm. We did some actual celebration by drinking a (rather delightful) bottle of 1979 Bollinger (same age as him), which was pretty exciting - I've never had anything like it before (and quite likely never will again).
I got him a splendid whisky too - not quite as old (1984 I think) from a distillery that no longer exists - which I'm very much looking forward to :)

We went out to Terroirs wine bar/restaurant on Friday for late birthday dinner, which was an utterly splendid experience that I can wholly recommend to anyone.
They have a great selection of wine by the glass, lovely mini (kind of tapas-style, I guess) French plates o'stuff and a delightfully French (although extremely helpful) waiting staff and all for a very reasonable price.
We ate and drank loads and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We're now just debating how short a time we can reasonably wait before going back again :)

There was also a Birthday Pub Crawl on Saturday, for which I was present about half of the time, but which has been deemed to have been a roaring success by all attendees.
There were crispy quails, cocktails, beer, cake and pie. Oh. And Singstar. Need I say more ;)

That's it, I think.
My life to date.
Hope everyone else is ok and having fun.

In other news - I am addicted to Masterchef again (goddammit).
Though, due to rehearsal commitments, am going to miss final final tomorrow.
So, until I have time to catch up on the iPlayer (which has finally been hooked up to my TV by way of laptop and multiple cables), you'll all have to keep the winner a secret from me.
Though I bet it's that annoying girl. She's done really well for the last couple of days.
