a week off

It's the beginning of that wonderful British invention, the half term holiday. Ant is also taking a week off and we are really looking forward to some time together. We thought about going away, but started adding up the costs and saw that is could be quite pricey. So instead we decided to take the money we could spend on going away and use some of it to do some things in London that we normally wouldn't do.

Also on the agenda is having our radiator system de-scaled, a week-long process that our landlords have arranged to happen on the week that we're off so we can let the plumbers in.

I am going to the dentist on Monday. It will be my first visit since I moved to the UK, shockingly. Ant also had a dentist's appointment recently. We have vowed to go to the dentist regularly from now on.

The book club meets on Wednesday evening. We are reading The View from Castle Rock by Alice Munro.


Ideas for this week, still only possibilities:
--go to a show (a musical or a play)
--have tea at the Ritz
--a river cruise
--visit Sir John Soane's museum
--do some wine tasting at Vinopolis
