1st October Tuesday
Left Pete cleaning the boat and went off on a jolly - he is very long suffering!
Met Mum at the National Portrait Gallery and had a lovely day looking at paintings and then seeing a film. We parted at Charing Cross station and it took me a mere 20minutes before I was back on the boat. What luxury. Olly and Fran arrived in the evening and they had booked a Burmese restaurant in Edgware Road which we walked to easily. A tiny cafe really with plastic table cloths and great food. Pete and I stuffed ourselves and enjoyed the company of two favourite people again.
Today, Wednesday, we walked to Portabella Road - a little disappointing because despite Internet info, there were very few stalls. Still it is interesting as is Westbourne Grove and its shops. I was pleased to see that Kahns is still there. Scarily I remember this curry restaurant with it's beautiful interior (trompe loysdkjh walls and sculpted palm topped columns) opening and signs outside claim that was 35 years ago. Oh dear.
These few days have been extra specially good fun. Having a 'home' in central London is sooo cool!

Trompe l'oeil I mean of course! Now I have looked up spelling!
