Big day in London today: Breakfast, Elevenses, Coffee, Lunch, Tea, more Tea, Dinner, Nightcap. Yessiree, Bob, today was the day Suzie took me around for the official Turn-Your-Head-To- The-Side-And-Cough: a day-long marathon of meeting the friends and relatives.
I woke up to the following itinerary, taped to the mirror in the bathroom (and followed with military precision):
9am: Brekkie
10am: Shower and shave
11am (I said, 11am, mister!): Play date in Golders Green with Cressy and toddler Ruby
Noon: Get on that Tube post-haste
12:47pm: Off the Tube at London Bridge
12:49pm: Coffee for Eliott
12:53pm: Ahem, still waiting on that coffee...
12:54pm: Hello?
12:57pm: Begging your pardon, would it be too much trouble for that coffee?
1pm: Lunch with Dan, Sara and baby Thea at the Tate (Fish & chips and mushy peas! Again!)
3pm: Free time
3:01pm: Stop slagging off and get your tuckus to Charing Cross!
4pm: Tea and cakes in Baker Street with Jean, Marcel and Myra, as well as Suzie's dad
4:01pm: Where are Suzie and Eliott?
4:02pm: Can't imagine what is delaying them
4:10pm: Oh, that must be them now
6:30pm: More tea in Hampstead with Sharon
8:03pm: Dinner in West Hampstead
10:27pm: Home again--salty toffee and nougat for Eliott--job well done.
...And I loved every minute of it. Suzie has a lovely family and friends.
