Half way through Raiders of the Lost Ark with a live orchestra at the Albert Hall. It is AMAZING.

@theboydonefood @hotdinners @chrispople Went for the Empire IMAX in the end. Less stress. VERY EXCITED.

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

MUCH more successful attempt at lunch at the Gourmet Tart Co in Galway - sea bass & sautéed potatoes

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

Disastrous 1st attempt at lunch @FishermanThe in Galway after sitting for half an hour to be told our order didn’t go through. Heavy sigh.

So @Jose_Pizarro at Broadgate was a lovely, lovely way to spend my birthday. And this presa was amazing.

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

@frances_hedges sorry - just seen this. It's Lotus.

Almost forgot to say - Happy Birthday to @hotdinners (Catherine) today!!

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

Time to go to a dinner about mobile travel stuff instead of eating all the Bleecker Burgers. Not the best planning...

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

@MattTheList Still think it was worth it - will try it again at the weekend.

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

@MattTheList don't feel I've put it to the best use yet, TBH. Must remedy that. Think drink may be best use as a little superficial on meat.

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

Canapés at the @ChaiWuLondon - prawn and foie gras

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

Am now pathetically excited after hearing about Star Wars Madame Tussaud’s http://t.co/4EymI6LPRr

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

Have finally given up on off-the-shelf kitchen blowtorches and gone for something with a bit more oomph.

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

@BTCare BB installation. Surly, unapologetic engineer eventually turned up. Now set up but he couldn’t have been less helpful. Will email.

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

Thanks @BTCare for a completely wasted morning waiting in for an engineer who never even called to say why he didn’t turn up.

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

Smoking gun does work but really should have turned on this extractor fan first. I smell like I’ve been to a bonfire.

[Gavin Hanly @hotdinners2]

@MattTheList not yet, just back from being in Ireland for a week. Will def be testing it out tomorrow though.
