a dear family friend and neighbour was kind to invite me to dinner and a movie! she's always on the go and despite living a few streets away, isn't usually in london long enough to catch up. but she very sweetly wanted to hang when she'd a rare free night in london. she'd recommended cafe society but the timings didn't work out and we ended up watching bridget jones' baby. which i initially thought would require an epidural of its own to sit through but was proven wrong. and as a treat, she also very generously bought dinner at maze grill. now i'm an unabashed carnivore and maze has got to be my all-time favourite steak restaurant, despite being late to the game. it serves steak, and various sushi. how awesome is that? and while i shouldn't have bloody meat, who wants a well done bit of charcoal? sacrilege! the cow would've died in vain. sadly the nhs doesn't test for toxo in antenatal blood tests (they really should!) and hm i suppose it's all risk management, really. wine, too. another no-no but i don't get the whole self-sacrificial maternal instinct martyrdom. to each his (her?) own and i just feel that everything in moderation is a healthier approach than a flat out ban. not condoning risk taking behaviour in the least but hm, gotta live a little. in the alternative, self-deprivation and resenting the baby as a result is probably worse.
