No. 7 Eat at the Ivy - update

At last I have a booking at The Ivy! So, you are thinking, she is going to while away the evening late into the night with some handsome beau in wonderfully salubrious surroundings drinking fine wine and eating tantalisingly delicious food before retiring back to her sumptious five star hotel for afters of a more...interesting nature........ (sorry, my imagination started to run away with me there). Actually, I’m going for lunch with my brother because no matter how quick I am, I am never quick enough to get a dinner reservation that starts before the tubes finish. How do these people do it – the ones that get the 8.30pm prime time? They must sit poised at their lap tops waiting for new slots to open just like they probably queue up for the Harrods sale with their sleeping bags and thermos flasks at the ready. Well they’ve got me beat so I’m going to pitch up at lunchtime making sure I have NO meetings booked for the afternoon. And actually, it may turn out to be a rather sublime day because at five o’clock I’m meeting one of my girlfriends at St P’s for champers and I expect I will arrive with a very big and slightly foolish smile on my face.  I'll prime her not to expect intelligent conversation.
