Saturday, 16 August: prezzies that Dave has brought with him: 3 duty-free bottles of whisky (Talisker 10 years old, Lagavulin 1991, Jameson) and 3 hand-made bunnies from Portobello Market. Thank you :-) | |

Nuts, olives, 2 kinds of hummus, aubergine & sweet potato pastes, cheese, bread, etc. etc. |

Sunday, 17 August: Breakfast at Berio: my big salad with feta & olives. |
Dave's "Potsdam" breakfast, consisting of 2 eggs & toast. |
At Bar am Lützowplatz, Kousa wants the cherry in my Blue Champagne (champagne, vodka, blue curaçao, lemon juice). |
A very blurred image of the bar interior. Recognise the space, Fast? ;-) |
Vietnamese dinner in Goltzstrasse. The do-it-yourself Gado Gado platter is just what the girls needed. Dave's is fish & veg in a spicy sauce. |
Later on at home: all 5 bunnies getting drunk on Talisker and falling all over Dave's Powerbook. |
Monday, 18 August: Back at the Hodges' - we're on Jameson this time. Gavin setting up for a group shot. |
Sofia, Alice and Gavin. |
Tuesday, 19 August: Brunch at KaDeWe. Toasting with glasses of Sancerre, while waiting for our fish to be grilled. |
Both Dave's Scottish salmon steak with Greenland prawns & green peppercorns and my South African kingclip fillets are delicious. |
