Last night I had slightly less sushi than expected thanks to my weird spell of feeling ill. I feel fine today - it's all most strange. Anyway, I think it may have been the sushi (or perhaps the beer) that made me better. Beer is one of the great medicines of course, and there is little that it cannot help, even if it doesn't cure it.

After sushi we went to the UGC in the Trocadero to see 'Enduring Love'. The Trocadero used to be one of the best things about London when I was a teenager - it had Sega World, the big arcadey bit, and a bunch of other things (including Alien War, which Dave and Ade had both been too and I was reminded yet again last night how annoyed I am that I never went). Now it is pretty much just a cinema and a load of boarded-up shops. It's funny how things change. Mind you, the cinema has about 10 screens. Most of them are up loads of escalators and down long corridors - it's all quite strange and disorientating. The film itself was excellent and I thoroughly recommend it.

The Trocadero may be a shadow of its former self, but there are lots of things left in London that are still pretty much as they've been for the last 30 years. I should go to them in case they close and I suffer the same annoyance that I never went. For example, I have never been to the London Dungeons, although they're meant to be better than Madame Tussauds (which I have been too). I haven't been to the V&A museum either, although I doubt that is in much danger of closing. I'm sure there's a bunch of other stuff I have yet to see. I will have to make a list...
