Another day another drink

Must plan my blips better - 3 of my last 4 pictures have been drinks! Tonight's is a post dinner coffee - the dinner itself was disappointing. Went to waggamammas and avoided my usual 2 choices (chicken chilli mem and ginger chicken udon). Mistake. Teriyaki salmon was poor - dry fish and starchy noodles. Luckily the company was great - a friend was over from Istanbul so we set the world to rights and gossiped about work. She recently took a sabbatical to work on her photography and unwind and then all the protests happened at Taksim Square. She was up close and personal to the protesters and the police and has some great images. And looks fantastic and has a great new perspective on work having taken some time out. Maybe I'll try it sometime. After the average food we moved to Carluccios for coffee. Next catch up planned in 3 weeks in San Francisco followed by in Istanbul in November for the run from Asia to Europe (not as dramatic as it sounds - a 15k including crossing the Bosphorus Bridge).

Just sat watching a documentary on bbc2 about Martin Luther King and the march on Washington - fascinating.
