You say you want a revolution...
Had my first visit to Revolution in Sutton at the weekend. Went there early on and I have to say I quite liked it. We were drinking Vodka cocktails which seemed to be the best value but did get you hammered quite quickly. Not sure I would have liked it too much later when it gets busy but the fact its almost unrecognisable from the Litten Tree incarnation must be a plus. The bar staff all seemed friendly when making the bizarre drinks and the garden seems to have had a refit so may be a place to go in the summer when the weather is nice.
Saturday saw me wake up with a hangover, not helped by the fact the trains were diverted through Staines on the way down to Southampton. Did have time for a couple of cans on the train and made it in time for kick off. Its always entertaining when your team scores five although we did make hard work of it by conceding two soft goals. Stayed behind for a beer in Southampton after the game and the long journey home meant Saturday night didn’t really happen.
Sunday, I finished Louise Weners third book, ‘The Half Life Of Stars’. A cracking easy-read much like her first two novels. This revolves round a girl searching for her brother who has disappeared without any trace or warning. Louise Wener was the singer and songwriter of the fantastic Britpop band Sleeper and although I’d much rather she got back to music, her talents in creating do transfer to the written page. Thoroughly recommended.
