No Dye, Sunday Lunch and Riot

Things go from bad to worse re the dye. Got to John Lewis and they did not have the colour. I have a feeling it has been discontinued. Went to Selfridges who had just stopped stocking dyes. Anyway I had a nice Sunday lunch in the brasserie in John Lewis and got chatting with a Brazilian mining person. He lived in Rio, married to an English girl and had five children. I told him about the Brazilian students who had stayed with us years ago and how nice they were. The lunch was OKish and the glass of red wine I had excellent.

So tired from all the walking I cabbed it back. In the Thai place later someone said there had been huge riots from 1-4am at the Elephant and Castle. They had been showing an African movie there and the crowds were very noisy so a police car turned up and asked them to keep the noise down while leaving, whereupon someone threw a brick at the police and a full scale riot broke out. There were masses of police cars and they did not manage to break it up until 4am, according to a neighbour who had seen the whole thing from his flat nearby.
