Tuesday – Up around 8:30. The kids were still noisy, especially running up and down the stairs. Breakfast was excellent, as usual - mushrooms, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and bread with a strip of chocolate, and tea. We talked awhile to the guy who is working on the house. He does a lot of plasterwork and seems very good at it.
We went to the post office to mail cards, then took the Underground to Walthamstow Market. On the way a lady on the Underground told us that a few years ago there was a fire from smoking in the Underground, so all smoking was banned on the Underground now. The market is one long street of stalls set up, plus some stores on either side. We bought a kitchen basket, a scarf, and marshmallow candy (it was pretty stale).
Took the train and bus back home to drop off the packages and went to see the Mousetrap at St Martins, performance number 20,089.
After the show we found Dukes, the sandwich shop where we ate during our last trip. We got a Brie, chicken and avocado sandwich for dinner. Then we walked around the Soho area and bought a piece of chocolate cake with cream filling and chocolate flake for dessert, and bought tickets to the Reduced Shakespeare Company show.
We went looking for souvenirs awhile, then walked to Trafalgar Square in the evening, where the pigeons were asleep on the pavement.
From one spot there is a straight view of Big Bend in the distance.
We took the bus back to Brixton. Stopped for Fish and chips at Morley’s – it’s a fast food type of place, across from the store where we usually bought a Guinness for the night.
