together we must fight this false reality!
Dry cleaning dropped off Thursday. Aim to collect Monday morning for a Monday PM jaunt to London. Friday afternoon have to be in London Monday lunchtime. No time to collect my ‘dark’ suits.
Dark suit required for Tuesday. Time for an emergency suit purchase. We stop off in Leeds (on the return from London) and quite amazingly pick one up, have it adjusted and move on within around minutes.
To belatedly celebrate Ann’s Birthday, we arrange to see Jersey Boys on Saturday. We meet in London (also belatedly – the train is over an hour late) and have a champagne dinner at our hotel. I also have a couple of Martini’s – but that’s another story.
Saturday morning we patrol the National Portrait Gallery. Therese and I pop off to Amalfi’s for a rather top lunch, then on to the show.
I don’t know if we technically had the best seats in the house – but it certainly seemed like we did. Halfway up the stalls, level with the stage and a break in the seats ahead of us, there was nothing to obstruct the view.
And the show itself? Well, I need to listen to more Frankie Valli now …
Spotted outside the Swiss lounge, Zurich airport.

We manage a second walk this month. Destination : Embsay, near Skipton.
It’s cold, and a little wet. The OS map is overly optimistic in assignation of some paths. We don’t intend to wade through marsh for several hours. Route replanned, were up on the high moors. Once more, I misjudge how long we’ve been walking and we turn back a little earlier than we need. Still, we now have a new day long route we can walk later this year.
