It’s very unusual for me to be in London on a Thursday evening, but here I am all alone and coming down with Man Flu. I’m not normally one to complain or make a fuss as many of you who know me, will no doubt confirm. However the hot bath I had when I got back to my hotel room this evening has only brought on the full effects of my illness and I now need looking after with gentle care and full time attention. Comforting myself (being alone), I ordered up a bowl of hot soup from room service and to be fair to ‘The Bin’ (a nickname given to this hotel), it was actually just what I needed; hot, spicy and served up with fresh crusty bread. All I need now is my t’other half beside me (because I’m alone), mopping down with a damp sponge, my poor aching brow.
I wonder if the mini bar has any brandy….
