Sunday Roast

Yoonah(PhD Design History researcher at Brighton), Jonghoon(BA Architecture student), and I had sunday-roast at the BLA-BLA(?) restaurant just near the Brighton Backpackers on last Sunday. The Bla-Bla is nice, cosy place and it has lovely sunny windows as well as a set of electric-powered fans which looks like an exotic or oriental something. Anyway, it was quite nice. good.
