July City Lunch - any takers!

[Marina]

Before we all break up for the school summer hols, or break down with our alleged Alpha Mummy lifestyles - who fancies lunch in Spitalfields?

Dates I'd like to suggest are Thursday 12th July or Monday 16th July...

[Marina]

Thank you Frogs!
I'm getting a consensus for PP so I'll book it for you now and report back.

I can't believe how naive I was re Giraffe - had no idea it was such a popular place

Will keep eyes peeled for NovemberGirl and Kewcumber - have CATed them but I doubt they'll get it in time

[Kewcumber]

fine by me - I have to fall about 300 yds further but guess I can live with that...

[Kewcumber]

another good standby is The Kings Stores in the lanes between Middlesex St and Spitallfields. they've renovated and although a pub the food is very good. I think you can book tables (though not absolutely sure)

[Marina]

Have just booked a table for six here although thankfully it sounds as though you all know its whereabouts

I am so sorry about the confusion and not to be there myself this time but have a good lunch

[Marina]

And next time we'll make it handy for you Kewcumber your suggestion sounds nice too

giraffe seemingly need bookings for lunch a week in advance

I just thought they would not be totally full in school term-time, doh

Table is booked in my RL name which hoxty and dino both know and hopefully frogs can remember, or get off hoxty by text

[frogs]

Sorry you can't make it, Marina -- hopefully hc will get my txt soon.

[frogs]

Do you want me to email dino?

[Marina]

Frogs, I do too. Bundle is hopefully texting her too and I sent a mail but am unsure it's to the right addy.

Just in case, my name sounds like a top-notch public school for boys to the West of London, and there is a square in Belgravia spelled the same. And apparently an enormous department store in Canada.
None of which bijou associations have any relevance to my family, sadly

[Marina]

Dino knows, thanks frogs - and is still hoping to make it at 1pm ish

[frogs]

Ermm, you'll have to be less cryptic, marina. I only know your first name, did you book it in that too?

[bundle]

she usually travels by bus so hopefully will get it soon from one of us!

[frogs]

Ah yes, Marina, just clocked it. Brain not firing on all cylinders atm...

[Kewcumber]

got it Marina - wasn't there a thread about your shcool just recently? (also know the canadian store)

[frogs]

Kewcumber, are you bringing your little gherkin? [hopeful, broody emoticon]

[Marina]

Neither is mine frogs, as you can probably tell
You've got it right re name

[bundle]

re: marina's name

which is obviously a rather messy ice cream/summer fruit/meringue pudding too

[Marina]

Now that I would be happy to be associated with bundle

[Kewcumber]

sorry little gherkin is at home - difficult to get much work done with him hanging around in the office!

[Kewcumber]

we are going to Mumsnet London picnic though if the weather is good - so if you;re around you could meet him then.

[hoxtonchick]

sorry to go awol! thanks for all texts & e-mails. lovely to see everyone, i think dd didn't behave too badly.

[Kewcumber]

I thought your DD behaved beautifully - my DS would hve been wrecking the joint. Weleft very shortly after you anyway and I needed to get back to my pile of work whcih I didn;t do!

Nice to meet y'all.

[Kbear]

Marina - sorry to hear about your bus crash - would it be inappropriate to ask if your behind is recovering?

[Kewcumber]

what - did I miss a bus crash

[Kbear]

Kew - Marina 10.44

[Kewcumber]

oh so sorry Marina how is your, erm, leg.
