It's great to have talented friends!
On Friday night we went to see the opening of 2 short films directed by the dad of one of Larysa's classmates. Mal is going to be showing these 2 at the Cannes Film Festival, so he rented a cinema here in Soho to pre-screen it for his family, friends and any potentially interested parties. The two films were both completely different in style and atmosphere. 'Fluffy', was a whimsical story of a man getting too attached to his belly-button lint, while 'RedBlack' was a dark and somewhat disturbing tale, like 'Collateral', but with a gorgeous blonde replacing Tom Cruise. I would see RedBlack made into a full-length feature, as it left me feeling I needed to see more. I think Mal is on the verge of stardom for sure, so bookmark his website now http://www.malwoolford.com/ and you can say you knew him before he was famous!

After the screenings, Christine and Bill and Orest & I made the short jaunt up to Russell Square, where a fellow dog-walker had just opened up a restaurant nearby. Bruce is managing a goldmine. Balfour has a great location, fabulous food and a manager who makes everything tick along nicely. Christine and I had the duck and it was really delicious. We all tasted each other's starters and meals and couldn't find fault with any of it. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice Italian meal out, but doesn't want to go to Pizza Express yet again. It's at the corner of Tavistock and Marchmount Streets just north-east of Russell Square, because you won't find it in any food guides just yet.
