Kosher Sex in THE City

London Baby...

May and I headed for London this weekend to meet up with her friend Bruce (who is South African, despite the awkward Aussie connotations of his name) and to celebrate the GREAT Nathan Rose's 23rd Birthday... yes, the man is OLD... practically on the shelf!!

Anyway, we had a lovely time on Friday night at a little Italian packed restaurant in Balham, where we had a little too much red wine. The food was awesome, the restaurant filled with atmosphere, and the company- well, we can't have everything can we ;-p kidding, the company was great too...

After dinner we headed for 'The Bedford', which is supposedly a very historically significant pud, but I cannot for the life of me remember why! Then off to another 'club' which had fish tanks for decoration in an attempt to be classy, but all illusions of that were shattered when they played only BAD 80's music... then we headed home!


Next day started early than expected with Nathan's arrival from Oxford! It was great to see the man in the flesh again, totally thriving!! We decided (yes, we are ALL total nerds) to celebrate his birthday by visiting the museums! We went tot he Imperial War museum first, too have a look at the Holocaust exhibition which Richard recommended as research for our Exhibition... and heck...

Two hours in the Holocaust exhibition wasn't evan enough. I was totally raw. It terrifies me to think that we are capable of doing such things to each other. And I mean 'we', as in human beings. Anyone who stood up against the system was jeopardising their life, so would you in the same circumstances, have opposed the Nazi's?? We keep quiet everyday when things go on around us that we know are wrong, but would something such as the Nazi's slow and deliberate propaganda campaign not such us in....?

At what point would you stand up and say, HEY, THAT IS JUST NOT OKAY? When they passed laws to make all Jews wear a star of David to Identify themselves? or maybe when they posted guards outside Jewish owned businesses to intimidate people and stop them buying from them... or possibly when they herded the Jews like cattle and sent them to live in the ghettos where thousands starve to death or caught disease? When exactly would you put your life on the line and say to an SS guard with a gun that loading hundreds of men, women and children, onto trains and sending them off to death camps was unacceptable?

k, onto less heavy stuff! (Despite my postings on this sight, most of my life is spent having fun and enjoying life, NOT weighed down by the depressing reality of human nature.)

We walked along the South Bank of the Thames and checked out where the brothels used to be with the old goal, the Clink, conveniently located right next to them. We then had lunch at this tiny little sandwich cafe along route and then walked up to Westminster, enjoying the sights of St. Paul's and the London eye along the way. London is lovely and to quote Ryan R.... "I have emotional oneness with that city." Nate and Bruce are both an endless source of interesting information which made the experience evan more enjoyable. Nothing better that spending a day in the greatest city on earth with good friends

We ended up at St Paul's for Even Song which was held beneath the dome- wow! Then, in order to make our cultural experience complete, decided to take part in the Tate Modern's latest exhibition, which involves going down 5 different slides of varying heights, the highest being the one from the 5th to the ground floor- and they call this art?? Well, maybe not, but it was fun!

Sadly we then had to say good bye to Nathan as he headed home for Oxford and then went back to Bruce's where he cooked us an amazing Prawn & Lime stirfry. Ladies- guard your heart against that man, cause dinner was out of this world!

Anyway, there was no sex to be had anywhere, kosher or otherwise, but at least I kept your attention for the entire blog post ;-p
