Today I went for lunch with Lynsey at Little Venice. She’s my friend from high school and has just moved to London, so it’s all new and exciting for her. We had a great time catching up and gossiping about school. I also had the yummiest drink in Starbucks. Tom met up with us after work and had been given a huge computer monitor to carry home.

On the walk back we passed by the BBC Maida Vale studios, where lots of paparazzi had gathered. I asked them who they were waiting for and it was @[45309870078:Eminem].

We were planning to go to a movie but, while waiting at the bus stop, we bumped in to our neighbors, Dan & Martina who were going to see our other neighbor, @[87165624891:King Charles] play a gig at the Social. It was really weird because we had already been invited to the gig by @[600581112:Sean Adams], as his girlfriend @[507435354:Catherine Anne Davies] was playing too. We ended up tagging along and really enjoying it).

Afterwards we had dinner at a cool restaurant called Vapianos, which was like a futuristic cantina. As you go in, each person is given a card and you beep it at the counter as you order your food and at the bar as you order your drink. You pay as you leave by beeping the card again.

The chefs ask you lots of questions, so that they can make your meal exactly the way you like it. I had a really tasty funghi pasta, which was cooked to perfection.

Tom ordered a pizza, which takes a while to prepare, so he was given a machine which would buzz when it was ready.

The tables even have herbs growing fresh, so that you can tear some off and sprinkle it on your meal.
