More candy floss clouds this evening.20:33:30
Poked my nose in at the Pineapple briefly, and spotted a Brompton - took this photo for Andrew who is a big fan of them. He owns 6.20:37:27
The sky looking rather nice near Kentish Town station as well.21:13:08
Camped outside Olivo after disappointment trying to get a table at Oliveto.

If I'm really honest I didn't hugely enjoy the food this evening - I had my heart set on a gutsy pizza at Oliveto, and by contrast the dishes at Olivo all seemed a bit dainty and bitsy. My starter was quite pleasant - a sort of salad of chargrilled courgettes with slices of ricotta and some hints of truffle, but it was over in a few mouthfuls.21:31:51
Similarly the culurgiones, which I have enoyed in the past (and Erika was a bit fan of), seemed a bit insubstantial this evening. I was glad of the bread basket.21:50:28
The current wine of the month at Olivo, which I had with dinner.21:55:06
An after dinner mirto...

...and then we got chatting about how the bar attached to one of the other Olivo restaurants used to make a Sardinian twist on a Negroni, so they tried to recreate that for me. Rather generously of them, this was on the house, so I feel a bit mean now for quibbling about the portion sizes earlier.
