Camden Town in the morning. Then in the afternoon out to Jean's in West Harrow. Happy to have brought my black pashmina. Some shortage of glamorous opera evenings draped in it, but the cashmere is warm and I'm quite willing to appear in a babushka/hijab cross in the cold wind, especially as it retreats to being a scarf when the wind dies down.
But warm at Jean's - tea and wine and then curry and good conversation catching up. Also she has Kieran's and Katy's school pictures, as Rachel was afraid of missing us in Cyprus, given their erratic mails. Shanthi joins us after work, her big news that she's being loaned to the cabinet office for two years (still as civil service policy advisor).
