Birthday boy

OK ok so it's my birthday. Why didn't you send a card or more importantly a present? Jan makes a great breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon (pancetta) followed by banana drop scones and maple syrup. Yummy yummy who's got a big fat tummy?

The Mistral is very strong today and has blown over the bins. We venture out to pick up all the rubbish and after a couple of minutes my hands are painfully cold. So cold that I have to stop to let the pain subside and to get some feeling back. At least it's sunny.

Montpellier in the afternoon to see the film of Phantom of the Opera. It was quite enjoyable and followed the stage production fairly faithfully. Having seen the stage version several times, the film also helped explain some of the things that were not so clear looking at the stage musical. We then waited around for an hour or so and went to eat at L'Entrecote, just off the Place de la Comedie, for arguably the best steak and chips in the world. You have got to try it. The perfect end to a birthday.
