Top Five things to do on a Friday night...

I am bored. I decided to stay in and watch Summer of Love and feel faintly petulant instead of going to the cinema, and it is rather dull. So, five things meme?

Can I count puddings as dishes? I mean, they come in dishes.

1) Lemon syllabub. Becasue it's almost bitter, and so alcoholic, yet really smooth and not quite creamy and divine.
2) Cheese (and sometimes bacon) filled baked potato halves. Except I usually try to eat them too quickly and burn the roof of my mouth, but they taste so nice.
3) I once had a gorgeous duck and pear noodle salad in Manchester.it was fabulous.
4) Roast beef Sunday dinner. Red meat, and roast potatoes, and yorkshire puddings slightly undercooked with gravy that's not too thick. And vegetables that don't include cauliflower.
5) Pate on toast. Especially when there's too much pate for toast and you can use the salad garnish as a conveyance to your mouth.

New cities?

1) Copenhagen ;) My sister went there a while ago, and loved it.
2) Venice. I've never been to mainland Italy (only Sardinia, on a resort thingy, so it hardly counts), and I think I have to see it once.
3) Moscow. I want to take the trans-siberian railway across Russia.
4) Dublin. I have never been to Ireland either. A few of my friends went, but it was specifically a drinking holoiday, and that's not really my thing. I'd far rather wander round and look at things.
5) Wellington. The list isn't in any order, and much as I want to go anyway, it's also a much more likely sourse of girlsown finds than the others. I love to shop for books. More than any of the actual things you're meant to see. Just the books.

This is kind of strange to write, because I don't have a huge yen for particular cities, but I'd love to visit friends in cities instead

I remember NOTHING. Seriously. I was only born in 1981, so anything before that I obviously don't know about, and I don't remember anything up until about 1986. Then in 1990 we moved to Qatar, and because of the news control there I didn't experience many things. Oh, except the Gulf War. Cause we got gas masks and went back for a bit, but it wasn't really a vivid memory. I was an insular child. And adult. So, um.

1) Gulf war. Cause it meant I got a long holiday from school.
2) 2000 US election. Cause it took over television for ages when I was living in Santa Cruz.
3) Dunblane, which was one of the few things I had a really intense reaction to that wasn't me when I was about fourteen.
4) The attacks on the World Trade Center.
5) The london bombings last year, except that I more remember reaction to them.
