Friday Night Dinner: Rail House Victoria
We went to the Rail House Victoria on a rainy Friday evening. We were seated right next to a big group with children generally acting up, on a table which if I’m honest was a little undersized.
We started our meal with five aged Gouda croquettes. We've seen portions of two, three, and four before, but five is slightly bizarre. I don't get it when restaurants serve sharing items in prime number portions. It makes it harder to divide properly to share. They were however, quite tasty.
As her main, my wife selected the minute sirloin stack, which was served with a fried egg with a running yolk, and a caper salsa. It was well cooked. I chose the roast lamb, which was served with a fried rice with peppers and onions. The lamb was spot on as well, and lovely pink in the middle. It however did come in a very hot pan which I subsequently burned my hand on. With the meal, we shared a bottle of a Cantina di Gambellare merlot.
The dishes were fine, but the setting was more like an industrial gastropub, than a date-night establishment.
We were finished pretty quickly,, but didn't fancy any of their puddings. Instead, we popped over the road to Stoke House to enjoy a lovely cocktail.

I think this was my favourite photo of the set that I took. It's not at maximum coverage, but it does have a sun spot group (4508) just on the cusp of the terminator.

No totality here in London, but still had a great evening out in the local park and taking some snaps.
I did have a nice Solar Filter that I made for my lens, and had many conversations with people from different backgrounds. Kids loves to look through my filter after I was done (ran out of battery power).
More photos later...

Is there somebody who runs PHP on native windows (with Xdebug) and can run a simple script for me?
It must be in a file (`test.php`):
```
<?php
echo microtime(true), "\n";
xdebug_connect_to_client();
echo microtime(true), "\n";
```And run like:
php -dxdebug.log_level=11 -dxdebug.log=c:\temp\xdebug-i.log -dxdebug.client_host=localhost -dxdebug.client_port=9111 -dxdebug.mode=debug c:\temp\test.php
With the port 9111 not open.
Would love to see the output and log file (in a DM).
