Fireworks

[Thursday 5th November 2015]
Rather lazily picked up Chinese takeaway for dinner, knowing as Erika had been to nursery today, where they have tea at around 4pm, that she wouldn't eat much for dinner, so it didn't matter so much if it wasn't particularly healthy. Erika apparently hadn't had an afternoon nap, so was a bit tired, and we managed to get her to sleep by 8:30 - which is pretty early by her usual standards.

I was keen to get outdoors after that and see if I could see any firework displays. After a brief walk around the local area I determined there wasn't going to be much visible there, so decided to hop on the tube, and ended up heading for the Angel in Bermondsey. This turned out to be quite a good vantage point - there wasn't any single big display visible from there, but a few small ones, and it was definitely enough to keep me entertained during my time there.

On the way home I decided to stop off at the George Inn in Borough, predicting it being later on in the evening that it would be fairly quiet. This turned out to be right on the money, and in fact I had the oldest and nicest bar room all to myself - with the exception of a rather sweet looking little mouse with big ears who scampered back and forth across the floor a few times, apparently not all that concerned by my presence. It was rather blissful.

They say if you see one mouse venturing forth in the daytime, that means there are up to a hundred in the building ...
