For today’s @ftweekend.com I am at the restaurant inside the high end Mayfair furniture shop RH London. And it’s chaos. Warm water. Can’t mix cocktails. Run out of hamburgers. Dull food for bored oligarchs who don’t eat. Have a few quotes and a pic of a £22 baked potato.
Do keep an ear out for the Kitchen Cabinet
After one of our longer breaks (because we did one of our longest unbroken series at the start of the year) the kitchen cabinet is opening its doors for business again. We start in Inverness, then Folkestone and Hebden bridge. tickets at the link below.

Half a dozen seats have come available for our previously sold out JR Sextet show at Pizza Express Holborn tomorrow night.

He is a) extraordinarily busy and b) not altogether happy about it.
The stuff of nightmares (for her too, tbf)
Looking at that list I think declining to have a conversation with the producers was the right call.
The only way to be there, is to resign the whip.
My wife says that same.
I did but still
Believe me, the timing was just as frustrating for me
