The Tuesday with Mike's birthday

 Hi,

Had a good day at work working next to Shoshana - and she went and got me an iced latte from the work cafe when my meetings were stopping me from getting one.

After work we walked to The Embassy and got there in time to settle in and watch Disclosure Day. 5.15pm. Danita and Nick were also seeing it (happy birthday Danita for today!) so we said hello to them.

Movie tickets
The movie was interesting. A bit of a Spielberg indulgence from my point of view. Good plot. Emily Blunt was amazing as always and carried the movie through the more hamfisted parts. But it did need more focus on execution in places. It felt like similarly with George Lucas's later movies, there was nobody there willing to challenge the Great Mr Spielberg's screenplay and suggest how it could be tightened and improved.

But I was entertained.

It finished at 7.50pm so we had to hop it to Koji Restaurant. Toby called to wish Mike a happy birthday too. 

The dinner was superb. We both got the 9 course chef's meal - all plant-based for me, carnivore version for Mike. And it was so good. Creative, but well thought out. Very little in common between mine and Mike's which meant we got to see and taste a huge range of dishes.  Mike got a couple of glasses of a fascinating and delicious chilled red from Alexia Urban Winery in Greytown. All up, $226 - what a bargain for one of the best degustation meals we've ever had! So that was an excellent birthday night out. 

Fave ones for me? The lettuce cups with mushroom and other deliciousness. The miso eggplant. The charred broccoli. Mmmm.



Dinner at Koji

What a menu! We'll try a la carte next time (and there will be a next time)

Ubered home and chatted to the driver a lot about his hybrid Haval. Fed the cats. And fell asleep with a very full stomach.

Up for a bus in with Mike. He had the session with Quentin while I ran on the treadmill. Coffee at Margies on the way to work.

Have a brilliant day.

Love,
