Freezing, Russian Shawls and Good Evening


The Russian shawls arrived today. Predictably, not as good as the shawl I had from Julian, but quite pretty. Was given a present of some mint chocs today. Had some more Tom Ka soup for lunch in Lye Torng.

Dragged the old electric fire up and this has warmed the place up a bit, in combination with keeping the bathroom door closed.

It has been icy cold all day, so I only got as far as Lye Torng and the postbox. Unfortunately I have to go out tonight to Ennio Marchetto at Queen Elizabeth hall. I am sure South Bank will be absolutely freezing. A Russian shawl over my coat may be de rigueur.

South Bank was freezing but there was a very good food market going on, so took a few snaps. Met Chris and Vic - really enjoyed Ennio Marchetto who has added several new characters to his performance and some Christmas characters, too. Afterwards we had dinner at Cotto. Victoria particularly liked Cotto as the proprietor apparently has to eat gluten-free food so she was able to have special bread and pasta. Home around 12.30 after a very pleasant evening.
