Laser treatment

So I had my first round of lasering of the bikini line over the weekend and as the advert promised it was relatively pain free.

Counter to my, and close friends, belief, it doesn't require shots of laser to be fired it to each individual hair follicle. Instead it zaps an area about 1cm by 4cm wide and kills all the hairs in one go. Feels a bit like a pin prick each time but 10mins and it's over.

Only downside was I thought 6 sessions and I'd be hair free forever. Seems 12 might be needed putting my 'it'll be cheaper than waxing in the long run' theory in to question...

Simplicity

This evening C and I went to Simplicity, a small but perfectly packaged restaurant in Bermondsey. All in all a fabulous evening - pint of Blue Moon in the Mayflower followed by a short walk across the cobbles to Simplicity. Chef Lawrence, who introduced himself to us at the end of our meal, created a tempting menu that ranged from classics like kobe beef burgers through to galantine of chicken (breast stuffed with pork, ginger, garlic and chilli, yum). I went for a seabass papillote (that's fish wrapped in foil) and C had the chicken. It was really, really good.

Over dinner we agreed our first dance. Big step forward as the shortlist has ranged from Frankie Valli through to Marge and Homer's Singing The Blues. I got a little emotional over the wine with wedding excitement; for the record, tears at dinner not unusual.
