I am in Bournemouth for a friend’s birthday weekend and decided to have a lazy Saturday afternoon, catching up on RSS feeds and writing some blog posts (e.g. this beauty on X-factor and Twitter).  I’ve also been reading through some posts on Seth Godin’s blog and trying to relate them to my current work.  People watching in a bar is the best place to ponder things like that in my opinion – not exactly sure why though!

It is my first time in Bournemouth, so I completely relied on my iphone to guide me from my hotel to an area with bars and restaurants.  I managed to find a funky little place called ‘Orange’.  When I arrived  (about 2.5 hours ago) it was fairly empty, however it’s slowly got busier and there is now a steady volume of chatter and louder music.  I am sitting next to the window, watching the world go by and enjoying unexpected waiter service whilst I type away in to my netbook.

They have a good selection of food available, with a typical bar menu covering various types of cuisines.  I went for a spicey chicken burito which came covered in melted cheese and tomato.  It was not too spicy, but certain did fill up a gap (the gap being breakfast which I missed). 

The bar staff told me that there is a DJ playing here tonight, so I may ask the group if they fancy coming for a drink before we go to the club. 

In all honesty, I could happily sit here, order some wine and wait for the others to come out, however I’m going to need to get changed out of my scruffy clothes before we head to the club.  Time to shut down the netbook and head back to the hotel for a jacuzzi I think.  Nice afternoon

If you are ever in Bournemouth and you fancy giving this place a try (I recommend it), here is a map (click to view on Bing maps)…
