Sunday 24 December
We might be far from home but we still need to keep up with the latest Star Wars adventure, so that’s what we did today. A stroll down Streatham High Street took us to coffee and then the Odeon Cinema where we enjoyed “The last Jedi”. But is it really the last Jedi? I think not! Not as good a film as the last one and not a patch on the original three, but still an entertaining afternoon.
This evening we returned to the “Gazette” for a sensational Christmas Eve dinner. French bubbles, mussels, roast duck with orange sauce, and then a chocolate soufflé. My idea of heaven! The tables are blackboards and they put chalk there for customers to write or draw. We wrote Merry Christmas in as many languages as we could ... not many.

The buses worked perfectly to and from Balham. There’s no public transport tomorrow so we’ll be walking to the pub where we’re having Christmas dinner. It’s 10pm here and 9am on Christmas morning in Australia, so ... Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

ReplyDeleteGreat work in finding all these special places for even more memories. My time on the computer or doing anything has been severely curtailed with baby sitting or the Christmas preparations. Hopefully today a bit more relaxing time? Or just wishful thinking? We had a lovely time at Andrew and Lana's but having to take up so much stuff- from plates etc to food was a logistical nightmare. But it all went really well. Hope your day is just as memorable. XXX
