Extended Stay on the Heath
Friday 8th April 2022
Had a longer than expected stay on the heath this evening, as it turned out Erika went for dinner with a friend, so I got a pizza and ate it atop Parliament Hill.

To and Fro
Saturday 23rd April 2022
Chie had quite a bad stomach ache when she woke up this morning, so for a change I drove Erika to her Japanese school. When I got back again, Chie was in so much pain that I was concerned it might be appendicitis, and took her to hospital. After the usual multi hour wait the doctors decided it was more likely gastroenteritis and sent her home again. Fortunately Erika had been out at a play date in High Barnet for most of the afternoon, so later on I went up there to pick her up, which explains the rather odd sole photo from today.

HP Sauce
Friday 29th April 2022
Randomly a picture of one old and one new HP sauce bottles, showing the state of Big Ben (yes I know it's not strictly called that) with and without the scaffolding.
