Look at this wonderful birthday card my sister drew for me, featuring cartoons of Pepsi and Tango!


Up

We went to see the new Disney/Pixar movie, Up. It is fantastic. Probably their best yet. It's laugh-out-loud funny and cry-real-tears moving. It's also a huge amount of fun, featuring some delightfully cool ways to fly, including a zeppelin, the house held up by lots of helium balloons which you'll have seen in the poster, and (minor spoiler) a person held up by a few helium balloons, sitting astride a leaf-blower like some kind of roaring broomstick/motorbike hybrid :))

Go and see it!

I am fairly relaxed and confident about tipping in restaurants, apart from occasional practical wibbles about not having the right change. But there's a whole penumbra of other similar circumstances in which I have a vague idea that tipping might be expected but I'm not sure, and I worry about getting it wrong. Is it normal to tip all these people and I've been offending them if I don't? Or is it just for exceptional service? Or is it not customary at all except overseas? Please help unconfuse me.
