What a sad thing to see on Valentines Day, a crushed rose on the pavement. That's what we saw on Lower Regent Street this evening after a delightful meal, cheeky wine and a charming host at the Val Taro behind Trafalgar Square. It was Chris's penultimate evening working in the West End before moving to the wilds of Old Street so we went out to celebrate. The shop is full of packing crates and the counter and till have mysteriously vanished - bye bye shop/hello office. I await the mammoth moving blog with interest.

I'm listening to my latest record at the moment, 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight' by Richard and Linda Thompson. Julie Covington also recorded that song, of course, but the Thompson's original version is quite different. I'm also enjoying my new lovers rock reggae double album, 'I'm In The Mood For Love', inspired by seeing Janet Kay at the Barbican a week and a bit ago. It's a great selection of songs, both old and new. It's a shame none of Janet's records seem to be generally available.
