New year, not so good start. This week has been interesting in terms of surgical operations and full of bad news on a personal level.
Friday night saw the launch of Salma Hayek produced Ugly Betty series starring America Ferrera. I keep calling it sweaty Betty because of the retail outlet. I haven't laughed out loud in so long and I plan to catch as many future episodes as I can. Surely it can only get better. On Saturday I had drinks with a friends at a bar in south London. Very plush but a bit sparse on people making a change from the sardine tinned Saturday venues. The line of the week goes to my friend who likened the price of dom perignon to half a laptop.
