Working Late (on a Friday!)

[Friday 10th October]
Quite a long day at the office today, for a Friday. I had two hours of meetings from 4 until 6, which meant I missed the usual beer-and-pizza thing. Instead after my meetings were finished I had a quick tot of rum with my Venezuelan colleague. He had covered for me Wednesday night while I was at Ronnie Scott's - not that I was actually on call this week or anything, but we were getting a new data feed from one of our partners which needed someone to stand by in case anything went wrong. Anyway, even though this is just as much his job as it is mine, I was very grateful for the fact he hung around so I could go off. So I found a bottle of Venezuelan rum (in one of those shops on Old Crompton Street) as a thank you present. It was Santa Teresa 1796 (no that isn't the date), not that I know anything about rum, but my colleague told me it was one of the best. I've never really drank rum before, but I actually quite liked this one.

After my brief rum dalliance, I went back to work, to finish off a big document which needed reviewing by people in the US before the end of the week. I eventually left the office around 9:30.

Chie was out for the evening at a a work night out, so when I got back I made a late dinner for myself - spaghetti with my old favourite that Sacla olive and tomato sauce.
