To Camden Town in the morning on minor errands - AA batteries, toothbrushes, etc.

In the afternoon we take the train to Thames Ditton to see Jenny and Doug before they leave on their Caribbean cruise and, especially, to see Jane and David, who are sailing from Southampton with them. Nice visit with Jane. We stayed at their house in Cumbria for two weeks four years ago while Dave (and Jane) was stationed in Cyprus, having met them on the same Nile cruise as Jenny and Doug. Dave is now in the process of retiring from the army and is looking at a job in Glasgow, in the interests of which he is writing an exam in Bath today. But he joins us for a cup of tea and in time to see Jasmine demonstrate her new skill - as of today she can walk a few steps.
