London Day Three and Four

Where health and zoology are discussed and possibly exhibited.

The first day starts off with sad news about Bobbikins: he has awakened very sick. We presume it’s the cold we have shared with him; doesn’t seem right since he shared really good cooking with us. All we gave him in return was a crappy cold and maybe some See’s chocolates

So we go to Gail‘s for breakfast and it’s 10 in the morning and they’re out of oatmeal. No problem, we schlep to another Gail’s. They have oatmeal but they’re out of drinkable black tea. They’re waiting for delivery from their supplier.

In the elevator, a person noticed my hat from Valencia and said boo because it’s not Manchester United. Sharon said she has hat for Manchester. He said black or red, black we said; seems it should be red because only red is Manchester United. Apparently we got the wrong hat as we got Manchester City.

Pauls. Nice pain au raisin.
The Metropolitan pub

A great plate for a Doom Bar on draft.

Visit to the Grant Museum of zoology. A teaching museum still active.

We have passed this museum more than once. Sharon finally said we should go. Well advised
