Jan's dermatologist is about to put her on a very powerful drug to help her psoriasis. This drug is an auto immune suppressant, so in order to ensure that there are no conditions that haven't surfaced yet, she is undergoing a series of tests. This means that we have to make regular trips in and out of Nimes, and yesterday was one such day. Unfortunately some trips only last a few minutes, so we console ourselves with shopping and lunch. Past-Port, 6 place de la Revolution, Nimes, 0466 676468 looked promising from the outside and offered one or two mouth watering specials. (What a convoluted way of starting a restaurant review - Ed) The young owner is half Italian and half French and this was reflected in the menu. You just cannot beat simple, well cooked, Italian food and the starter measured up, but the meal was let down by a very average main course. Maybe we didn't choose well, so another trip will decide it, but if you are nearby, try it and see what you think.
We got invited to the launch of a bed the other day. A strange invitation you may well say, but before you start to imagine some huge bed sliding down a slipway into a river, having been christened with a bottle of shampoo then look here. Me old mate Mark Humphrey, a highly respected London based designer, has just designed a new bed. Can't say I like much myself. For instance, where are the reading lights, apart from the fact that I haven't got several thou' to spend on a bed, never mind the odd shaped sheets needed to cover it? But hey, what do I know? Mark, by the way, who split from Nick Haslam some years ago, is pleased to announce that he is the only heterosexual male designer in London. I'll take his word for it.
