City Barge
Lorraine up early and off to get some physiotherapy for her lower back. The therapist lectured Lorraine about looking after herself better.
Then L and I walked down to Preston Park from where we travelled up to Strand on the Green. Matty boy was having a few drinks for his birthday, with his pal Ian who has a similar birthday, in The City Barge. An easy journey. Nice and a bit weird to be with Lorraine in Chiswick. A cheery afternoon and evening. It was good to see Matt and Isy, and and their little Elsa and Tasha and Steve and their Freddie who is of course little Elsa's cousin of almost the same age. Not a massive baby fan, but found Elsa to be a superior baby in lots of respects. Poor Isy having a tough time with her second pregnancy, and feeling rough most of the time.
I also got to chat with Craig and Mel, Robbie, who I'd not seen for a long time and who has just moved to Bristol. Also chatted to Andy, who I'd worked with in Tavistock Square who has been working on virtual reality hearts lately, which sounded very interesting. Also Stephen Buckley, Lucy and Sean, Sylvia and Sarah, Ian, and an interesting chap called Brett with whom I had a long conversation as he is a serving airforce pilot who has been in Afghanistan and other exciting places. Apparently they play battleships against the crew of another plane while they are patrolling. I found him very interesting.
Home fairly painlessly, and dozing on the train home. Back at around 1 o'clock thanks to the spirit seagull who guides you home from London late at night.
Below I spent a good deal of time playing with Elsa, below, and Lorraine spent a good deal of time playing with Freddie, pictured at the bottom with Tasha. Both rather nice babies.
