lemur_catta and I were invited to a dinner at the Arts and Letters Club thrown by a local Anthony Powell fan for his fellow fans. It certainly wasn't either our normal crowd or one one might have expected for such an event. There were about fifteen people there, mostly thirty something professionals; a partner from Ogilvy-Renault and his lawyer wife, another rather pretty lawyer who doubles as a stand up comedienne, a McKinsey consultant from New York and so on. The food and wine were excellent and the conversation extremely amusing. We ended up back at the O-R partner's rather plush (surprise) house in the Annexe after dinner. The only downer was that something really upset my stomach. I suspect it was mixing oily fish (salmon) with red wine. It's happened to me before. Unfortunately I didn't know we were eating salmon until after I'd already had several glasses of wine. So it goes.
