Story Time and Dim Sum

[Sunday 6th October 2013]
Headed out around 11 in the morning, in the direction of the National Gallery, where they had a "magic carpet story time" for kids which we attended. It was only 30 minutes, and essentially a guide from the gallery sits down on a carpet with a bunch of young children and talks about the painting in kid friendly terms.

After that we had dim sum for lunch at Joy King Lau, which was good as always. We let Erika try a few of the dishes, she seemed to quite like cheung fun.

After that we did a bit of shopping along Regent's Street - Chie bought a new dress - before heading back home, around 2:30.

Just popped out again for a bit later in the afternoon to go to Sainsbury's. We'd had a bit of a problem with the water this weekend - the cold water seemed to be coming out warm (sometimes hot even) and so to be on the safe side we decided to stock up on bottle water for drinking.

Also bought a copy of Country Life which I spent some of this evening reading. I mainly chose it for the unrealistic daydreaming about magnificent country houses featured on the first few pages - like most people. However I actually read it more or less cover to cover, and found it surprisingly interesting.

We felt like we'd eaten quite a lot of oily food this weekend so instead of the usual roast dinner we had a light meal of salad, some Quorn fillets, and some boiled new potatoes.
