Dear
Reader,
|
There’s nothing like the
deep satisfaction of landing a word, preferably with a ‘z’, ‘q’
or ‘x’ in it on the red triple word score on a Scrabble board. It
can be a literal game-changer and that ‘gotcha’ moment is always
worth it. I grew up playing board games; some I loved: Boggle, Buccaneer, Othello,
Ludo; others I hated, namely Monopoly and Risk – too aggressive,
too often an excuse for my older brother to trounce me. But that
was all part of the fun. Apparently though, Scrabble has just
launched a ‘more inclusive’ double sided board, removing from one
side any of the scoring mechanisms for those who find the game
intimidating. No score? What a bore! Words, for once, fail me.

Have a great week.

WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK

More Traitors?
Yes, Please
|
More fringe, more fashion, more Claudia, more
Scottish skulduggery. What’s not to love? The news that Traitors is potentially
committed to six more series is
bringing me much future joy.

French Fancy

We wondered what this cookery legend would do
after closing the doors to Le Gavroche earlier this year. Well, we
don’t have to wait any longer. Michel Roux is helming a new
restaurant – Chez Roux – at the
Langham. Reserve your table
now.

Serenity
+ Energy = Surenne
|
The hottest new wellness place in town opening
soon for high-fee paying members is Surenne, part of the new Emory Hotel in Belgravia
(which also features London’s first abc kitchens restaurant
from Jean-Georges Vongerichten).
I had a sneak peek and, from the pool to the Tracey Anderson studio,
to the longevity doctors and the Rosemary Ferguson café, it really is the bee’s knees.
