@Harters, I’ll be in London 20-23 June. Any chance of you, or any other HOers in town, to catch up?
It’s a quick visit as I shall be in Cardiff the weekend before for the finals of BBC Wales’ best opera singer of the world. From the BBC Wales website:
“One of the finalists, soprano Anush Hovhannisyan, will premiere an extract from an unfinished opera by Franz Liszt which had lain forgotten in a German archive for nearly two centuries before being revived by Cambridge lecturer David Trippett.”
I am in Cardiff to catch that unfinished opera bit. Wished I could have stayed longer, but work commitments back in Singapore (and an impending assignment in Hong Kong) meant I need to get home rather quickly.
It’s funny that you’ll be in London then because I’ll be in KL on those days. Obviously no chance of a meet up now. I seem to keep missing you. Hopefully next time.
Dean - I’m meeting up with Limster back in London on Monday evening - I’ll see if we can plan/organise a Chowmeet on Thursday - short notice as I had been pretty busy (and Limster had been away - back in the US, only returning to London on Monday morning). Else, we can also touch bases with you directly.
My Wed & Fri evenings are already taken up, unfortunately - Wed: attending the launch of an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, and Friday, catching up with fellow Singaporeans (London-based foodies whom I know from Makansutra, Singapore’s street food guide). I think if you’re interested, you can join our Friday dinner at the old Chinatown stalwart, New Mayflower.

Next week has become impossible, I’m afraid - we retirees are soooo busy. Maybe your next trip?
Looks like it’s not a good time for me. It’s our anniversary, and we plan to take a few days to go roaming somewhere. I’m sorry you hit town during this heatwave!
It doesn’t sound as if you’ll be lacking in people to dine with.
