The Actor and I went to our very good friend David's Birthday dinner in the Oak Room at his restaurant Bistrotheque last night. It was a very relaxed evening and it was wonderful to catch up with all our gorgeous friends.
Birthday boy David. His Mario Testino T shirt says 'How difficult it must be not to be Peruvian.' Quite.

We were then given hammers and a crab each, I had forgotten to take pictures so Pablo Leon de la Barra very kindly emailed me some...
We made a right mess with the crabs and people were tucking their napkins into their collars whilst bits of crab flew all over the place.
Thank God they got rid of the tablecloths! Look at the state of the place, it was carnage!
Tom had made some absolutely delicious macaroni cheese which went down so quickly even Pablo didn't get a picture quickly enough. I think this dish should be on Bistrotheque's menu permanently. Sometimes only white carbs will do.

Birthday cake - a dense dark chocolate truffle cake with clotted cream. Yum!

Lots of people went off for a dance at Horsemeat Disco. Being a bit of a Nana these days I didn't go, instead we popped back to Giles for a nightcap, as we were getting into the cab I spotted

Thank you to David for a fabulous evening.

You truely are the coolest friend I don't have.......despite dining on cake and champagne myself, am soooo jealous!!
Great photos...you people know how to put on a party!
Looks like a great time. I love clotted cream, but do you know nobody makes it here in the States? It's been over 20 years since I've had any. I lived in Wolverhampton for a summer in 1984.
Love to you,
SB
