I was at the people's launch last night. It was good. I never expected it to be great - you're in the middle of a huge crowd, miles away from the stage, the people look like insects, and the view of the huge screen is obscured by all of the tall people in front of you. But I'm glad I can say I was there.
I wonder if the rest of the world got the joke about the high visibility wear and safety hats and Ringo Starr's blatant promotion could have been done with a little more grace I think. But hey, he brought the world's press to the city so a small price to pay. You'll never please all of the people all of the time. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the telly tomorrow night.
The best part of the night was after the show when we went to Moureen's restaurant, Osqa. It was the first time I've eaten there and the food was a real treat. We had a table with a view directly into the white sparkly kitchen. My hubby and kids loved it. There was music from a pianist and singer rendering out show tunes and old Sinatra type classics. That part the kids didn't like. But how unusual to go to a restaurant and be entertained. I'm a bit of a saddo and have to say I'm impressed with the cutlery and the crockery. I like Moureen's eye for detail. The next time I don't fancy cooking dinner then I'll be hinting we nip out for their early bird specials!
