First visit with Jean this autumn. We were actually in Fredericton at the same time in September/October but ironically getting together here is simpler. Better public transport and fewer other calls on our time. Cool, but not wet. And dark, of course. London considerably north of our "northern" Ontario home, and the end of summer time makes for very early nightfall. As usual we're overly greedy with the Bombay mix before we even reach the meal. Good chat and we're joined by Shanthi, whom we haven't seen for a couple of years now. Inevitable political gossip as International Development minister Priti Patel is being replaced as we speak.
