Kings Cross Champagne Friday 6th April 2018 As the weather was pleasant, sat outside on the steps leading down to the canal at Kings Cross and had Champagne with the usual suspects. | Manze's and Borough Market Saturday 7th April 2018 Recreated a day from around this time last year - pie and mash at M Manze for lunch, followed by a visit to Borough market to buy spatzle and morels, which formed tonight's dinner. | |
Afternoon Off Tuesday 10th April 2018 As it was the Easter holidays I took the afternoon off to spend some time with Erika, and we went for dimsum for lunch. | ||
Fish and Chips Friday 13th April 2018 Fish and chips for dinner. Erika often has fish and chips for lunch at school on Fridays, so we rarely ever have it at home. As it was the Easter holidays for her still it seemed like a good opportunity! | Party and The Selfish Giant Saturday 14th April 2018 Erika had a birthday party to attend in the morning, then as soon as that was finished we whizzed her into the centre to watch a musical version of Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant. | |
House Party and Archway Bridge Sunday 15th April 2018 Chie invited some of her friends round for a party at our place in the daytime. I ducked out for a bit in the afternoon for a walk, but didn't really have enough time to get out into the countryside so instead just walked up to Archway Bridge. | Monday Monday 16th April 2018 Some GevCham arrived in the daytime. Played Marble Run with Erika in the evening. | |
SUN! Thursday 19th April 2018 Finally some bloody sunshine! Like probably everybody else in London we had a barbecue. | Potters Bar to Radlett Saturday 21st April 2018 Walked a stretch of the Hertfordshire Way from Potters Bar to Radlett - if anything a bit too warm for walking today! | |
Bugs Party Sunday 22nd April 2018 Erika went to a friend's birthday party where she got to handle some bugs. | New Sunglasses Tuesday 24th April 2018 New sunglasses arrived (primarily needed as I've been suffering with hayfever) and in the evening I built Lego with Erika. | |
Farewell Dinner Thursday 26th April 2018 Farewell dinner with Christian in East Finchley who was imminently moving to New York. | Natalie Saturday 28th April 2018 Natalie from work happened to be in the neighbourhood in the afternoon, so we met up at the Southampton Arms, then she gave Erika a cycling lesson, then back home for some ESW and risotto. | |
Piano Monday 30th April 2018 Erika with her new piano (which Chie got from a friend who is moving at the weekend). |
