I've enjoyed the last few days catching up with my family and reacquainting myself with some aspects of English/ London life. The grandchildren are pleased to see me, and the weather has been good: today there is barely a cloud in the sky, so I must go out and make the most of it.
Last night I saw the winner of the Booker Prize,
The Gathering by Anne Enright announced live on the BBC TV News: can you imagine something like that happening in Australia?
There's plenty more I could write about but the sunny outdoors beckons. I've also taken many photos and will post a selection soon.
