I SAW A POLICE CAR EARLIER. I could not stare. Because policemen always stare at me out of their cars and they would have used that as an excuse to come over, kill time talking to me ... what? And search me? I had just come out of Iceland with 8 chicken drumsticks for £2 reduced to £1.50 because on the stroke of midnight they get covered in green mould & beccome inedible. But regarding the police, I couldn't help noticing they now have 2 wing mirrors each side. Why? Because the second smaller one on top conceals video equipment behind a two-way mirror ... Just thought I would tell y'all that. Cameras! They get everywhere. I really ought to take more care of my appearance.
Had a wonderful sleep. Missed everything and everyone. Went to bed around midday; woke up as Ugly Betty was coming on (9pm). Still had that "hit" I was talking about: a masterpiece of self-restraint as far as I'm concerned. Because my favourite show was on I was unable to go out collecting tobacco and so had to go without a cig for an hour. And could not exercise enough to get blood flowing in my legs (only place I've any remnants of veins left ...) I lay on the floor legs in the air bicycling desperately. Got blood flowing enough. Ambrosia flowed directly in. I'd eaten all that chicken I got earlier. "Feed a cold; starve a fever. " Y'all know the expression ...
And now I must go ... thanks for all the lovely comments:--

Eds re: have I tried Indian food. Have I??! It's our second National Cuisine! They never called India the Jewel in the (imperial) crown for nothing. All things Indian are adored here. Last year no less than 40 Bollywood films were set (at least partially) in London. We have a huge immigrant community and Indians are liked. Gujarati, Hindi/Urdu, Punjabi and Bengali have enough speakers to warrant automatic translations of local government documents in most areas. India is far less foreign to us than say Thailand or China. There's been an Indian thing going on here for years...
I'm glad everyone likes the Indian recipes. I love Indian food. It is the second national cuisine over here (seriously). Our National Football song of a few years ago featured the chant: "Vindaloo -- Vindaloo -- Vindaloo, Vindaloo, Vindaloo ..." and ("balti") chicken tikka masala has many times been named our National Dish ... (100% true!!) ...
Cool.. i hear it's a bit like seattle there actually.. more so than chicago, new york, madison, San Francisco. Washington DC, Los Angeles, or any other big cites in the states..
ReplyDeleteI think it's easier for a junkie to score in London than in the states.
