London visit

Image
I went to visit Eric at college in London (or “uni,” as they would say). Everyone was very polite and the food was good. Highlights included the fried artichoke with romesco and gnocchi Gorgonzola at Bancone, and the roasted hake and sticky toffee pudding sundae at Hawkmoor. I also loved the iced latte and banana bread at Hideaway Coffee. We walked in Hampstead Heath, which I liked even better than Central Park. The one downside was my hotel shower, which had no ledge/rim and consequently flooded. I think I’ll stay somewhere else next time. 
 Watching British Bake Off and I was surprised to learn that Paul has never seen Mean Girls. I thought everybody saw that. (Eric can now watch the new episodes before me, though he hasn’t done that yet.)
