Lunch in a Shed
Tuesday 27th October 2020
Erika was on her half term holiday this week, and today I took the day off work so that we could do something together. Unfortunately the weather was a bit grim, and many of the usual options for entertainment weren't available given the current restrictions so we ended up just having a pub lunch in one of the sheds recently constructed in the beer garden of one of our local pubs. Then we did a bit of papier mache in the afternoon.

The shed where we'd be having our lunch. This was quite fun but a bit chilly!

I had my heart set on halloumi and chips (a take on fish and chips) which I'd seen on the pub's menu on their website, but when we actually got there the menu had changed, and the closest thing they had was this started. It comprised of some chunks of breaded halloumi, along with grilled pear, toasted hazlenuts, pea shoots and a honey dressing. It wasn't quite what I'd had in mind but it was actually very nice, and happly worked well for Erika too.

We also had a bowl of chips each on the side. So we nearly got what I had originally hoped for!

After lunch we went back home and put a layer of papier mache on this "cat" we have been making on and off recently.

Later on Erika had some homework to do, and the rain had stopped for a bit, so I decided to go for a walk to Hampstead Heath.

Very autumnal here.

Looked rather bleak up at the top of Parliament Hill.

Particularly bleak looking here!

Yet more bleak.

Surprisingly not many takers for the benches this afternoon.

Back at home, a bit of hot sake to warm me up before dinner. I tried to get an arty picture of the tokkuri and the cup with the fairly lights.

It seems portrait mode and fairly lights makes those night blurred light circles you see sometimes from SLR cameras.
