Just a Little News

The house is a bit quieter. Having four teenagers in the house increases the noise volume in the flat quite a bit. Early yesterday morning Kiki walked the Belgian girls to the bus at the school

Yesterday, we all went to the Lord Mayors Parade. All of us, Auntie S. & Matador (back from their quick trip from Paris), Chizz, Kiki, Snake & I. Remarkably, the weather was quite good again. Each trade and branch of the military had a float. Everyone agreed a little parade goes a long way. Next off to the pub (of course, because every outing with Chizz involves a trip to the pub at some point.) Good thing the parade ended right near the George; a pub across the street the Royal Courts of Justice. After a couple of pints and some bangers and mash, fish and chips, steak pie and a BLT, we caught a bus back up Oxford Street and saw the Christmas decorations. Gosh the traffic was awful, it took an hour to go ½ mile but gave us ample opportunity to see the decorations up close and personal.

Eventually we made it home and went on a pub crawl; four of our favorite pubs in the neighborhood. Drinks and dinner were great and there are blackmail photographs!

Pub after pub. You just cannot understand how envious I am.
