Last night, my friend N drove in from Windsor to have dinner. N has been over here for the past few months on a work assignment and doesn't get into London very much. It was good to catch up with her and I look forward to her being back in Chicago soon. We walked over to Roka (yes, I walked a whole half mile in my big shoes and didn't trip once) which is over on Charlotte Street in Fitzrovia. It's a great little area, there are a bunch of restaurants and pubs, quite lively. I've been there before to the Charlotte Hotel and to Rasa Sumudra, so it wasa nice to try something else. Roka is a very cool place, very tough to get into but I was able to secure us a spot in the lounge - Shochu - which is beneath the restaurant. It's Japanese so we had the obligatory edamame, tempura, maki, etc., and we both tried their specialty, obviously, Shochu. N had one with rhubarb, sparkling water, lemon and shochu and I had one called the "Hallo Kitty" (spelling is correct btw) which is raspberry, lemon, rose petals and shochu. The 8-year old in me loved the bottle and they were kind enough to give it to me as a keepsake.
The girls are now staying with D and seem to be settling in well. I miss them so much but know they will be loved and taken care of. Of course they immediately got in bed, Ella jumped on the pillows so she was higher than the other dogs (little alpha) and Chloe and Idgy hung out on the end. I am certain D won't get much sleep with the constant wrestling of Idgy and Chloe.
