Today I talked Tay into going out for a little walk-a-bout. The hook was that somewhere or somehow we would stop to see the new Indiana Jones movie that just got into town. So we head on down to the tube station and I'm thinking we'll go to Wimbledon. The sun was out, my pocket was full of money - well, as full as it ever gets - and I was ready to go. For some reason, maybe it's a "Senior Moment" (that was the book Andrea got me for Mother's Day) but we ended up on the tube to Richmond. So I decide it was karma and we stayed on the tube all the way to Richmond.
Richmond is a wonderful little village, I've always known that, so we walk around a little, go to the movie (we liked it) and then we ask for directions to get back to the tube. The woman sends us via the waterfront because "it's a beautiful day." It was a great day and I thought we might as well go for a little boat ride on the Thames. That was only a 45 minute diversion but well worth the time it took. It was an amazing little ride with awesome scenery. Then we continued on our way and I just instinctively knew, I don't know how but I just did, when to get off the walk and head to the tube station. We decided to get off one stop early and buy three portions of crispy pork and rice from the little Canteen on the way.
IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE...
I guess we'll save Wimbledon for another day...
