Our trip to London

Mrs C and I have just got back from a fairly
relaxing weekend in London. We sat around mainly
just chatting and watching the footie, plus some
cooking, eating and drinking, catching up on all
the news and chatting about our daughter L’s
pregnancy. The foetus is now about 8 weeks old
and is the size of a grape. L is feeling very well,
apart from the usual tiredness and a little nausea.

Apart from a brief sortie to Wimbledon Tesco, we
didn’t go anywhere as it was too hot to stay outside
in the sun. It was 31 deg C, as will the temps be
for the coming week. I pity the poor buggers playing
tennis in Wimbledon and footie abroad ... how do
they manage to play in the terrible heat?

We all felt sad with the demise of England in the
World Cup yesterday ... the BBC broadcast a
compilation of the highs and lows of England’s
performance in the World Cup, shortly after the end
of the game, accompanied by a very mournful but
wonderful piece of classical music, featuring a
string orchestra and a female soprano voice (Mrs C
thinks it’s a piece by Philip Glass, that’s often
played on Classic FM, and I agree with her). The
BBC showed it again in the early morning news
coverage today. I felt very sad for all the team
and the fans too. Oh well, it’s only a game.

I want to go to London, too! I recall working in a sweltering hot mini lab in South Molton Street on just such a day. (And it's hot here, too.)
