And Today: Good Food (Risotto anyone) and Sheer Panic

 Wonderful time with my brother Andy, his wife Izzy and my  nephew Mike. 


No photo -  Andy hates having his picture taken -  unlike his big brother!

I ate risotto with peas and mint.  'Twas excellent.

After lunch we hoved back to Andy and Izzy's home for relaxed and good conversation.

Andy drove me to a dropping off spot near my hotel; and then took Mike to his apartment.

Then sheer panic set in.  I could not find the travel pouch: the kind one wears around the neck.  In it was my passport, my credit and debit cards; together with U.K. and U.S.A. currency. Am I sunk?

It took a while to resolve the matter. Andy had driven from one side of the City and back.  Once back at his home he discovered that I'd left the pouch in his car.


                                PHEW!

I don't need the pouch this evening, so I'll take an Uber ride to Andy and Izzy's home in the morning to retrieve it. 


                            PHEW AGAIN!

That being done I'll visit with my dear London resident niece Anne and her good husband Stuart who will be in town for a bit, even though they cannot be at my birthday celebration.

Good Lord, I am blessed.

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
