Punjabi Choley and pea soup with pork sausage. The ‘Do Not Split’ stickers are amusing :-)

Saw Lacuna Coil and Straight Line Stitch at the Lemon Tree. Doors 7:30, I got a front centre standing position at the barrier. 8:30 Straight Line Stitch came on and played an energetic half-hour set. It was being filmed. Alexis Brown was in good form, singing well and bouncing around the cramped stage area like a spring. Near enough to touch (as some people on either side of me did). 9:00 and Lacuna Coil came on and played for an hour before taking the encore break. Then back on until 10:30. Or thereabouts. They had more stage room and slightly better sound than SLS (as usual for the headliner). Cristina Scabbia is very tiny.

That’s spinach and cottage cheese curry and pickled cucumber soup. Delicious!

The old one died (the scanner couldn’t read any barcodes) so it got replaced with this one:

A £15 replacement for the £19.95 Motorola I’ve been using for the last six years or so (the battery was beginning to fade). Just transferred the PAYG SIM over and there was my credit and numbers all ready to use. That’s the third handset the SIM has been in. It started around 2002 in a big brick of a Philips that cost £19.95. The Samsung does over two weeks between charges.
