Toni and I headed into London to go and meet Sophie with Scarlett and Kenzie. The kids had just spent the week with Shane and so we had arranged to meet up on the return leg.
When travelling these days you often hear announcements to stand behind the yellow line in the interest of passenger safety. I've always argued that it depends which you are facing as to what constitutes "behind the line". This got taken to a new level today though as we heard the same announcement on the Underground only they have upped the ante with the following paint job
St. Pancras station has changed quite a lot since I was last there Looks nice though.
Once we'd met up we headed down to Pizza Express on Euston Road for lunch. This decision was made based on the large range of gluten free offerings that they now do.
Toni had a beer which was a real novelty:
The kids went a bit camera shy today but I did manage to grab a couple of shots of each of them:
After some lovely food and time spent together it was sadly time to walk them back to St Pancras.
From our view up by the platforms we saw an old guy having a wail of a time tinkling the old ivories. There are a number of upright pianos conveniently placed throughout the shop section for people to have a go on.
It was lovely to see Sophie, Scarlett and Kenzie again but sadly boarding time came along too quickly and they were on their merry way back to Nottingham.
Once home we settled down to watch the Finland v USA Olympic bronze medal ice hockey game.This one was a bit of a surprise. It was 0 - 0 at the end of the first period and it looked like this was going to be a low scoring affair. Finland changed all that though and led the second period 2 - 0 . I could never have predicted what came next though as Finland went on a scoring spree scoring another 3 and winning the game 5 - 0. I was happy as I had wanted Finland to win but I couldn't believe that the USA had crashed out so badly.
