I have lunch with a fellow Council member who knows a lot more than I do about life, the universe and everything. I do this every now and then – go to lunch with wise people, I mean – in the hope that I will become more erudite myself. Actually I just become plumper. I have chosen today’s venue because it had gin and tonic cheesecake on the dessert menu. I do not order the gin and tonic cheesecake, because the salted caramel thingummy sounds even more delectable. But I wanted to show my respect for a chef who tries to make gin and tonic more widely available. Anyway, the salted caramel thingummy is indeed delectable. Although it is also so closely modelled on an Instant Whip® as to make me wonder whether the chef is in at all today or has simply left some eat-ups with defrosting instructions. The erudite fellow Council member and I talk about CIPA’s governance structure and how we might make it better if we had the courage and a few decades to spare. We conclude that we are better off concentrating on things we have some influence over, like our puddings.
