rainy morning

Chucking it down this morning. Very Monday weather. Warm summer rain though. We were walking home in it last night when we ate up at La Porchetta on Stroud Green Road. Michal, Andy, Mats, Matt and me all ate olives, enormous pizzas and ice cream as the restaurant rioted around us in its typically raucous fashion. There were no less than five people with birthdays there that evening, so every half an hour the waitresses started banging metal trays together and Happy Birthday To You came on over the sound system at high volumes. Lovely meal, and Andy, Michal and I quoted bits of The Meaning of Life all the way home, while fat blobs of warm rain sploshed on us intermittantly.
