The Fat Duck, Oceans 13 and a makeover....
Almost Friday again... been so stressed this week with work organising 101 different things for an event we're displaying at... liasing with designers and printers for stands and promo items and making sure delivery deadlines are met blah blah... so will be glad when this week is over. At least I have a half day tomorrow to get my MAKEOVER!!! So excited... just hope I don't get pressurised into buying £1000's of photos! We get a haircut, champagne, a free photo and lots of pampering though.
Went to see Oceans 13 last night at Shepherd's Bush cinema. Really good film.... couldn't really remember the 2nd one but it didn't matter... and I have to say Brad Pitt is still gorgeous!! Now I want to see Fantastic 4 - The silver surfer... saw the first one on DVD on Sunday and really enjoyed it!
Going for dinner at The Fat Duck tonight! Really excited about that too... my cousin asked me to come along as he's going for his birthday. I've heard about it before as it's supposed to be the best restaurant in the world and has 3 michelin stars... the owner Heston Blumenthal uses science to create his dishes and they're all weird and wacky combinations but it's supposed to be a multi-sensory experience! We're having the taster menu which includes the following:
