There’s nothing wrong with you – get outta here!
After tripping over a pavement kerb yesterday, I took myself off to accident and emergency to check out the lump and limp. I spent more time with the receptionist than with the doctor. There’s nothing wrong with you – get outta here!

Tipping
I think I approve of this blog posting from a grumpy fella I follow:
Inept or just slow service is saving me a fortune in tips. That, you see, is how tipping works in my world. You don’t get 10-20% just for existing. If I am at your table, you get a tip for providing actual service. That means being attentive, accurate and timely. If you fail in any of these areas without some sort of apology or explanation, you’re going to be taking home your minimum wage remuneration and nothing from me.

Captain Phillips
Starring Tom Hanks and based on a true story, the first half of Captain Phillips is good. The story then moves on and I’m thinking, hmm, downhill from now on. How wrong I was! A stunningly tense and exciting second half culminates in a hugely emotional ending. It’s another film in which I end up in tears! Highly recommended. -
Carluccio’s – Covent Garden
What a fun evening with friends at Carluccio’s, Covent Garden!
London was heaving – it was Friday night and Victoria tube station was closed due to overcrowding. Carluccio’s is always rather noisy, and upstairs was no exception. However all was fine; the company was entertaining, the food was good, the wine plentiful, and the service excellent. After 4 hours we departed and I slumped through my front door sometime after 1pm. A great night.

Always have your camera with you
I missed an opportunity to take a picture of the little old lady on a rare excursion out of her flat. And whilst we were admiring the view down by Southampton pier, I missed being able to capture the big yellow container ship contrasted with the green water and bright blue sky. Bugger!
