[15:23] An Eventful Day
I got a call today from the folks in London who I've been interviewing for, offering me a position. This puts me in a bit of a quandry because it's the second of two jobs that I applied for, the former of which (I'm pretty sure) I'd prefer to work for but that I've not finished interviewing for yet (a process whos outcome is by no means a foregone conclusion). If I decide to wait for the interview process to run its course then I lose the option of this job and possible end up destitute. Some heavy thinking for the weekend.

Luckily I was able to cast my cares aside as we had tickets to see the Philharmonia Orchestra play at the Royal Festival Hall so we rode the bikes up and went out to dinner at Wagamamas on the South Bank before the concert.

I think this is the first time that I've gone to see classical music played, certainly as an adult anyway and I really enjoyed it. The menu consisted of:

The Wagner was excellent and everything I expected from live classical music! Unfortunately the Britten was insipid and boring with vocals by an unfortunately Mr Bean-looking character and I could live without hearing it ever again. Luckily the post-interval entertainment bounced back well with the most memorable and enjoyable "The Montagues and Capulets" stuck in the middle.

Not only did we have a great time but, thanks to lastminute.com, the seats only set us back £10 each!
