food: some glorious, some not.

Saw 'Julie and Julia' today with Maxine. Just loved that film, Meryl Streep was marvellous as Julia Childs. Now I want to get her cookbook and read her life story. Don't go to see it when you're hungry, the food looks scrumptious and my tummy was protesting.

Maxine treated me to afternoon tea at the Radisson afterwards. I enjoyed the occasion but the food was not good: sandwiches so so, scones old and dry and the cakes not much better. To top it off a ruddy great TV screen flashed a rugby game. Afternoon tea and a sports bar is not a good mix. At least the tea was the genuine article, leaf variety in teapots. Still it was good spending the afternoon with Maxine.

My friend B has broken her leg, fell in the street. She's only just had the cast off her arm! Now she's hobbling around in a special boot poor thing.

Spent the night on the bed settee last night. Watched Australia beat the Poms in the ICC championship to get into the finals. The second semi final plays tonight between NZ and Pakistan. I will be flicking between cricket and the EPL tonight if I stay awake.
