Feeling pleasantly woozy after a merlot-induced evening at La Brocca with D. Ran into a couple of former Cheadle dwellers with whom we had the hi-how-are-you conversation. D is a recent Cheadle neophyte. There was a guy two tables along with a Hoxton peak; rare in NW6. Walking through West Hampstead, we saw a bright laser beam coming from somewhere towards Camden, making a blue-only rainbow shape across to Hamsptead. I tried to persuade D we should walk to the foot of the rainbow, in some Kafka-esque Breslover way, but she thought it was too far. D was convinced it was something to do with the Queen's imminent Jubilee. I, on the other hand, thought the whole thing was a little Mulder and Scully.

And at some point in the evening, D pointed out that Sophie Ellis Bextor looks like she's been photoshopped. Never a truer word.
