You can tell when an area has stopped being up and coming and has made it.
Went for posh fish and chips at the Sea Cow in East Dulwich, London with my sister-in-law last night.
It had long benches, tiled floor and relaxed trendy staff. You pay 9 quid for fish and chips eating in and 2 quid for mushy peas! Still you have the choice of tilapia, monk fish, cromer crab on top of your normal battered haddock. The trendies of East Dulwich were lovin' it.
Not sure where this fits in to the organo-healthy-vegan-eating-program for sicklies but it tasted real good.
Hey, if it tasted really good I suspect it will have been real good for you. Like laughter I think a belly that smiles and glows to the heart releases those endomorphs or whatever they are called that makes your body sing - who gives a **** if the body might still sing a little out of tune :0)

Sea Cow is such a funny name. But it took me right back to growing up in central Florida, where we have sea cows (Manatees) in the rivers. They are huge, slow moving and very gentle.

Wow you've seen real sea cows ?

Yup. In Crystal River, Florida, but I haven't ever been swimming with them, although some have. Thanks for your comment about Cleaning Closets. I've been dry for a few days -- hopefully the writing tap will come on again soon!

Yes the Sea Cow is great. Service a bit slow some times but the food is gorgeous. Like your blog too.
