fluffymark | The Now Show

Yesterday I had a gorgeous and pretty evening out with catt. As the sun was shining and it was a nice day to eat outside, we headed to the Waterside cafe at the Barbican. Which has a lovely outdoors bit, which unsurprisingly, is by some water, and theres lots of pretty fountains and things. Assuming you look past the fact the food counter looks like a school canteen and the Barbican itself is like a suburban university campus, it's actually very pretty. There were flowers *everywhere* and the sun was perfect and theres a pretty church just across the water. And the food (I chose salmon in spinach sauce) is utterly divine. Some people are right, there are bits of london that are very very pretty.

Our main destination for the evening was the live recording of the Now show for BBC Radio 4. A friend of catt's had managed to get tickets (the BBC website gives them away for free, you just have to ask for them!!) to see this wonderful little comedy some being recorded, so off we went to some hidden studio somewhere near Goodge Street. Small world syndrome hit when we bumped into steve there who I'd been introduced to at whitby. Goths...they get everywhere!! *shakeshead*. And the show was the most funniest thing I've heard in a very long time. I was in giggles most of the way through (mind you -i'm easily amused, but this was seriously funny!). It had the effect of really cheering me up and more than made up for all the woes and tragedies of earlier this week. A perfect evening out.
I was feeling so good that when I got home I even found the courage to phone
