Friday Night Dinner: Granger and Co
We went to the branch on Marylebone High Street, in a building previously occupied by Patisserie Valerie. The front of Granger and Co. is pretty unassuming, however once inside it really opens up. The rear dining room is a large modern airy dining space around two floors high, with comfortable seating and art on the walls. It has a slightly mid-century modern vibe. Despite the size and height of the room, the acoustics was great, and we could hear our conversation perfectly.
I arrived a little early and was seated in a corner seat. From there, I could admire the room while perusing the menu. Once my wife arrived, we quickly settled on our food choices.
We started with courgette chips with an aioli. The chips (slices of courgette) had a lovely crisp batter, with juicy courgette inside and arrived sprinkled with black sesame seeds. We squeezed a few drops of lemon juice over them, which really brought them to life, especially when dipped in the delicious aioli.
For the main course, we both selected an onglet steak—medium rare. It was well-cooked, flavourful, and moist. It was served with some greens, baby lettuce, and onion rings. We enjoyed a bottle of Tule Rosso wine, which worked well with the food.
After our main course, we both fancied a little dessert. Not too much, as we were mostly full of delicious steak. We settled on a tiramisu, which had good, slightly boozy coffee flavour and was nice and creamy, and formed a delicious end to our meal at this Australian restaurant.
Life Line
I've finished reading This Way Up. It's about maps, that went wrong.
It's a good read, but htyerr were several chapters that were written in a novel way (as a video transcript, a series of letters), and I found distracting from the a tail content. It'll have worked better in a produced video.
No mention of @openstreetmap though :-(

The Early Cormorant Catches the Eel
Sorry, not the best photo! But I caught this Cormorant catching this large eel when looking for Bank Swallows, right next to Eel Pie Island in the Thames.

Updated an estate_agent office
I went to my nieces' birthday party yesterday.
The theme was pink, and that included all the food, mostly died with beet root.
Shock and horror this morning when doing number two. Not only was my turd dark red, it was also glittering at me. Apparently the carrot cake had edible glitter...
So now I know what's worse than glitter.
😂 ✨ 💩 🟣Long-Tailed Tit on a Branch with Lichen
I've been spending some time in random London local nature reserves.
Sitting and listening, and in fifteen minutes you spot countless species.
This one was in Ham Lands Local Nature Reserve near Teddington.
