Its nearly 6pm on a Friday night here in London. Its a cold grey October day, the leaves are falling and the street lamps are beginning to be switched on. My tiny, shoebox apartment is cosy. I type on a Mac (the white one, not the silver). Music is playing, and all in all - its a very unusual Friday night. Normally at this time, London Girl would be found in a bar after work - laughing with colleagues, drinking a Napa full of white wine, and not caring too much about the effects of the day on her hair or makeup.
We work hard, and Friday evening drinks after a week at the office are where we are at our most relaxed, that first G&T slips down and the smiles start... The fact is, most London After Work Bars are pretty scuzzy. I bucked and brayed against trading up my Manhattan cocktail bars and black dresses for £12 bottles of wine in places in London with sticky tables... You know, it works though, because the cocktail bars in in NYC are the equivalent of the After Work Bar in London - the reason being, bars in NYC are not the same as bars in London.
I am late - as ever, and have to go - make myself look fabulous, its Friday night after all.
