Well, it's freezing in Hammersmith! John is all done up in his Bathurst gear, whilst Margaret is borrowing his Bob Jane jacket whenever possible. Did you know that the poms have summer gear for sale now. No way can I find a fleecy lined weather proof jacket of my own. Nor a scarf or hat. (I did bring some winter clothes, but not nearly warm enough).
Many of the shop chains I remembered from 35 years ago still trade - Marks and Sparks, Boots the Chemist, W.H. Smith. Streets are narrow. Many of the buses appear to be wheelchair accessible.
We nearly flew back to Hong Kong yesterday. John couldn't get off the plane for nearly two hours because of a breakdown in communication about wheelchairs. I have a very embarrassing photo of him sprawled out on a first class cabin "bed" chair, but no, I won't be posting it on our blog. I don't want a divorce.
We are still feeling somewhat tired after the trip, but neither of us had any trouble adjusting time zones. We are nine hours behind Sydney. Still thinking "what time is it at home" but no doubt we'll soon get over that once the holiday starts properly.
