Looking Good, Feeling Crepe.

New thread, anyone?

Only patchy wifi

Stropps, bloody hell, you poor thing . Brings back horrid feelings so I empathise. So glad dd turned up.And you have a clean bathroom.

Lovely here, very zen and pristine compared to riot of colour in streets outside. Photos soon.x

Love to the squad 😎 🇲🇦

Enjoy, Crem. Hope you have a super-fabulous and refreshing time.

Oooh Crem are you there [slow on the uptake]. Hope you are starting to feel much, much better and have a stonkingly good time.

Molly, hope all is well.

Crem - have a lovely time - a heat injection will do you so much good.

So proud of the New Yorkers blocking the airport and I'm not even American. I never felt this much hate for a politician before (reminds self that he's not really a politician).

Cremo, I didn't realise you had gone! Woo Hoo - have a fab time! Are you travelling around? I loved Morocco, many years ago BC

Trump's airport thing is very scary - agree, good for the people protesting, but I can't see him caring what they have to say.

DH and I went to an Ethiopian restaurant with friends last night - really enjoyed it - I've never eaten Ethiopian before.

Oooh, where was the Ethiopian restaurant, BTM? We used to go a lot to the Ethiopian resto in Paris, and I absolutely filled my boots with it when I was in Addis.

Auriga Wild Honey was okaaaaaay ish. Well acted and the tech was quite amazing, especially the simulation of the train. Somehow the timing wasn't quite right for what to me, is a farce. So wry smiles rather than laughs...and any angst in the play want quite believable, somehow. Ah well, next up is Emilia Fox in www.hampsteadtheatre.com/whats-on/2017/sex-with-strangers/this in a couple of weeks.

Crem so glad you made it! Relax, unwind and enjoy xxx

Hatty I would second getting someone else to do it...

No word from Molly?

I have a day of class prep as I am being assessed tomorrow in a three hour ordeal....and going out tonight, so must get ready now and hope Im with it enough in the morning to perform like I know what I'm doing... worried.

What is Ethiopian food like? Sounds great.

Ooh, I had some Ethiopian food once, on Caledonian Road near King's Cross. Seemed to be based around a kind of flatbread (which looked like tripe), to which one added various beany things. Seems that just about every country has a 'bread with various things wrapped in it' dish. Pizza, kebab, burrito, sandwich...

Saw La La Land last night! I give it 8/10 on the love-o-meter. Loved the songs, the colours, Ryan Gosling, even the ending, but wasn't transported with delight. And didn't cry. I do like a good cry at a film, though not to the extreme of Brokeback Mountain after which I almost had to be stretchered out.

I am in utter outrage and despair about the Mango Musollini. And May cosying up to him. Remember the good old days of moaning about Blair and Bush? Happier times.

I enjoyed Wild Honey - I felt it had its moments (loved the colonel!), some laugh out loud moments. My enjoyment of the play was slightly marred by the annoying woman next to me, who, every time I shifted in my seat, hissed loudly "can't see! can't see!" I wasn't sure quite how she couldn't see as we were towards the middle of the front row.

Ethiopian food - large, sour, spongy injera pancake, and dolloped on top, things like spiced lentils, spinach, hard boiled egg in some sort of sauce, chicken in a sauce, aubergine, tomatoes. Very easy for veggies. I had the best coffee I'd ever had in Ethiopia, and brought some back, but as is always the case, it's not quite the same...

Well, May doesn't have much choice, does she? Post-Brexit, it's a case of cosying up to the US, or we're stuffed. Appease the nutter lest he turns on you. I could almost see her teeth gritting from here.

I was reading in the paper this morning that Mo Farah doesn't know if he will be able to get home to his family in the US.

Molly - hope you are OK. x

Well, no, she doesn't have much choice if we continue down the madness of Brexit. Leave behind lots of nice liberal Europeans and 'forge new alliances' with dictators. It's going well.

I think she ha a choice. British citizens are defected by this, and anyway there are lines you don't cross. Think there is a march tomorrow evening on Downing Street about it and possibly next Saturday as well. I find t shameful and scary.

I'm interested by the praise for Ethiopian cuisine. Dd1 did her world challenge trip there which seemed to consist of equal parts of unspeakable food and dysentery so I've never been remotely tempted to try it.

We went to see old uni friends last night and had the usual interesting catch up from pooled knowledge of contemporaries. Apparently one couple, who struck it lucky in their 30s with a company buyout have now downsized the house, retrained as teachers and are resigned to working until they are 67. So taking a decade off in your 30s was not the decision they thought it was going to be - I do hope they enjoyed it at the time.

67? Spring chickens. I'll be working until I drop dead. Unless we do our cunning 'selling our house and buying two in Newcastle' trick.

Did she really have to hold hands with him?? Either he grabbed it in his unboundaried "pussy grabbing" fashion and she did nothing / said nothing or she was happy to be seen doing this. Either way YUK! Appeasing a sociopathic misogynist is unlikely to end well - for anyone.

I suspect she thought that if he was holding her hand, he wasn't going to be touching anything else, GGG.

Where have our new Crepeys gone? Please come back and jump in! The more the merrier!

MrsS, on the Walworth Road Actually, it's probably still Camberwell Road there. It was full of WMC hipsters. And us!

We are going to see Lala land with DS this afternoon - not sure it's really a 16yo boy's cup of tea!

Herbs, I wouldn't worry - we could all be dead way before then, the way things are going with Trump and Brexit

Ooh, in my manor! There is also one in Brixton that I haven't tried yet.

Ugh, yes, the hand-holding.

MrsS, was watching old episodes of Rhoda in the gym and wondering if Ida Morgenstern is a funnier version of your DM?

Maybe May is playing a clever double game . I'm not keen on Mrs May but I think she probably cannot stand Trump.

Much vilifying of The Orange Trumpet in the Arabic press here. He is depicted both as 'death' and a 'clown'. The French Press seems to be similar doesn't it Hattie?

Much lolling and wafting. But ooh shopping opportunities everywhere especially chic monochrome pottery and hand decorated kaftans in every colour. Am itching........

You need some butter soft slippers, too Crem

I am here - thanks for all your squaddie enquiries. I had to stay in because of my high BP which they then over-treated, so I fainted...and had to stay in some more...Turns out I had a fibroid which the lovely doc Miss Ding nipped out and will "slice and dice" to confirm its benign nature - but they are not at all concerned. Just got home.

Herbs, my minge laughed like a drain at your joke.
