Mean Kriek
Being a typical male, R decided to take a day off last Tuesday as he was convinced he was dying...and since Miss Kitty's boss was away on holiday, she decided to be extremely naughty and take the day off to accompany R to the doctors.
Well R was in a right state, so we bought some snacks and sat in the adjourning park before the appointment. There we were accosted by a rather large Dalmatian who seemed to want to grab Miss Kitty's scotch egg out of her hand.
Anyway, once R was in the clear and feeling very silly indeed, we hopped on the bus towards Lordship Lane.
First stop was MIND, the charity shop on the corner of Grove Vale. It is, in Miss Kitty's opinion, one of the best charity shops in South-East London It has an excellent collection of gilt mirrors, oil paintings, exotic ornaments and pretty retro clothes and shoes. R gravitated naturally towards the acoustic guitar in the window, whilst MK checked out the PC games where she found and bought In Memoriam and Day of the Tentacle.
Second stop was The Sea Cow, in Miss Kitty's opinion, one of the best fish and chip shops in all of London (despite it's industrial interior)! Here, we settled down to yellow fin tuna, crispy-skinned salmon and chunky chips, washed down with a few glasses of Cava.
Indeed, it had been a long time since MK & R had been along Lordship Lane, so we further savoured the experience by popping into Apollo Video, which contains the best collection of World Cinema that Miss Kitty has ever seen in a video shop.
We bought Lady Vengeance, Hidden and, at R's request, a John Candy film called Delirious.
All the shopping and alcohol was making Miss Kitty sleepy, but R was buzzing from his new lease of life. So we stopped inside Inside 72 and had two delicious cherry beers called Kriek.

We decided to split from Inside 72, although it was rock n' roll and proper cosy, we had a feeling that it would soon be packed with Emo teenies.
So we moved on to the HobGoblin or The Hob (as it is now called), sat reminiscing about how it used to look in our wonder years. Cheered up by playing a game of pool, which Miss Kitty lost by quite a large margin.
Moving on swiftly to the cosy bar section of the Dartmouth Arms, and Long Island Iced Tea for R, Mohito for MK. Followed by a bottle of Prosecco which was a terrible, sickly mistake, but quickly rectified with two White Russians, which Miss Kitty smugly assisted the barman with.

And then to bed, after watching Delirious which was ok but no Planes, Trains and Automobiles!
