Today we went to Windsor to check out Queen’s weekend getaway.
Very nice! Kids liked too. I liked the wall decorations made from old muskets
and swords. Imagine growing up as a prince
there – can you please reach that one over there at the top for me.
Porcelain collection not very thrilling
but everything else including the castle ground fitting.
We walked over to Eton and decided that it was the right
decision not to rent an apartment there. It looked lively but only thanks to
the hordes of tourists. The final stop was Yo Sushi. The idea of a Japanese
restaurant with a little railway where food is being served, and cute other
implements like personal water fountain
(1.20£ per glass) is interesting but it is a bit scary with two kids who want
to take things off the railway but not eat them and in general just touch
things. I think we will do again, after a break. Also, after eating so much homemade sushi (homemade is an overstatement, mostly eating sushi grade fish purchased from distributors) Yo Sushi sashimi is just OK.
Then we went to pick up Irina from the airport. Hurray!
Irina was here. Isabella remembered her after a little bit of time. Isabella
said a funny thing in Russian today. She has a runny nose so she said: “Nu
kogda ya yzhe otboleyu.” “When will I sick over” I guess.On the practical front, gathering of the material things to reproduce our home environment is almost complete. Got the vacuum today. Sometimes living in a furnished apartment has its benefits. We are down to sofa, TV and a printer. Printer is a vital home component of an English household - a number of places we visited offer significantly discounted prices when you buy tickets online and show up with a paper copy. It is pretty impressive how pervasive this practice is. It would be nice to take it to the next level and allow smart phone tickets but they are not there yet.
Awesome, love it!
