Greetings from Tufnell Park
Oct. 23rd, 2010 01:32 pmWe are staying in London with the Bears in order to attend a major birthday party, which runs through this afternoon and into this evening. The Bears have already set off, because it is the sort of party at which musicians get to play, and they want to arrive early and set up. And we will follow within the hour, but meanwhile, here I am.
Drove down yesterday via York, where we had lunch with a client at the Yorkshire Food Company in Micklegate: giant platter of smoked fish, and curd tart to follow.
BoyBear had major dentistry yesterday morning (removal of a tooth which his dentist has struggled long, heroically and ultimately in vain to save) and surprised us all by being full of bounce thereafter. In deference to his delicate state, there was soup and ice cream for supper, and the after-supper cabaret was a demonstration of how to change all the strings on a guitar (and why you should).
There was also much general conversation, as a result of which interrogated Google this morning about the Macedonian language (South Slavic, apparently) and Egyptian Walking Onions (they have their own website!). Armed with this information, we are ready to party!
