Face the rain, find the wine...& artisan beer...

So the show I was meant to see last night, 'Panic', starring Siv Ngesi, was cancelled (due to technical issues). At first it looked like a good excuse to stay home - I mean the weather was shite, being 15 degrees, with wind & rain & all. I know, I know, we Capetonians are ridic when it comes to the cold. We think we know it & we want to haul out the thermal underwear when the barometer slides a stripe below 17 degrees. I was looking to settle down in my fluffy slippers after dinner & then decided I needed wine, out, at The Power & the Glory. I don't know about you, but wine always tastes better somewhere other than at home. So to P&G we went...me, Lateral Paul & Son No. 1. The images refer....

The Power & the Glory, downstairs, is a stylish place to seat yourself down (on banquettes covered in sheepskin fur), have a glass of vino & scribble all over the paper tablecloth, when you're not Instagramming Le venue....it's a lot less raucous than the Black Ram upstairs...

 

Lateral Paul had one of his fave beers, Silver Back, brewed in Darling just outside Cape Town.. hashtag proud of that...
