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.)

Watching the new episode of British Bake Off. I like the new crop of bakers. I do miss Prue, though. She had a cozy grandmother vibe.

 I saw an adorable baby on the soccer field today. His grandmother kicked a soccer ball and he ran away from it 😂 He had a big, cute smile.

I went swimming in the ocean with my youngest. I got out of the habit for a while after a jellyfish stung me. But I’m glad I went tonight ❤️

Nightswimming

 My youngest was having a loud phone conversation with a friend and I slipped out the door and went swimming in the pool. It’s been a while since I did that, and I forgot how much I like swimming at night. I remembered when I was in high school and worked at Taco Bell (I know! Yuck!) and I would come home from a late shift, strip off my uniform, and jump in the pool.
