Monday: Sleep Aid

I travelled up to Slovenia this evening to go to a work dinner and stayed overnight.

As you may remember, I have previously expressed my indifference to Croatian cuisine which consists of a lot of grilled meat, chips and red pepper sauce.  So I was actually quite excited about going to Ljubljana which has a good array of restaurants, including Thai, Indian etc.  So imagine my distress when we went for a Serbian meal!  There is virtually no difference between Serbian and Croatian food so my dinner consisted of grilled meat, chips and red pepper sauce.......I could have cried!

Anyhoo, even in a strange bed here is something to make you fall asleep.  The diaries of Robin Cook, former Foreign Secretary.  Here is a man who knew no humility!  His diaries certainly don't have the charms of those of Tony Benn or Chris Mullins.  80 pages to go!!
