OFS*

Those of you kind enough to pay attention for the last 2.5 years may recall that we have not been overly successful in the holidaying department. And whilst we are all feeling well and truly out of the woods with the light at the end of the mixed metaphor tunnel burning bright, life is not yet quite back to what you might call normal and our newly acquired adaptability and planning skills have once more been put to the test. J's main priority and focus is being in the best physical and mental state and as up to date with work as possible for school to be a success in 5 weeks time. And a two week holiday felt like too much of a disruption to his current activities for that given the timescale. Cue brainstorming lots of options that would best work for everyone...

So me, Carlos and Anna are on a train to Gatwick headed to Spain and Jackson is at home awaiting the arrival of his new housemate, Peri. In a week I will hot shoe shuffle it back to see what havoc they have raised and collect Jackson for a week in the sun. I feel like I have left him in a sitcom. Though mainly as Peri has dubbed it *Operation Flatmate Sitcom. And he is a writer.

If there was sound (and this was a video) you could hear the theme tune. The image is a still from a recording I made.

I can't leave this entry without recording the unhealthiest brunch Anna had ever eaten at the fantastic Tried & True in Putney: Nutella French toast, mascarpone, fruit compote and maple syrup.
