We are in London. Yesterday's drive down was long, but much smoother than last year's [mis]adventures: we left home just before 11 - as ever, not as early as I would have liked - and reached our accommodation just on six o' clock. By the time we had unloaded the car it was 6.30, which meant parking was free. We don't seem to have forgotten anything that we can't replace (we went to the supermarket this morning, for coffee and cereal).
Usually, of course, we stay with the Bears. There have been changes there - home improvements, all good news - and my mobility got bad enough that I was worrying about the many stairs between the new spare bedroom on the attic and the bathroom on the half-landing, so we booked an AirBnB just round the corner - really very close indeed. It turns out that my mobility is better than it was, and that our flat here is up several flights of stairs, but even so, I am glad that night-time bathroom visits are on the level...
We dined with the Bears last night, on curry from the Bengal Lancer. They make a pie, served in the same rectangular foil tray as their other dishes: I didn't think the pastry was very successful, but the filling was excellent (mostly chickpeas and paneer;![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
boybear says it usually has more aubergine, which would also be good). And we breakfasted with the Bears this morning. Now we have some quiet time, while the Bears prepare for tonight's concert, and we lunch, visit other family and then join them at the concert.
Onward!
