Saturday 4th November 2023

Got up for a cooked brunch. I did an hour at the computer, then we headed for Camden Town on the 253 bus. Camden High Street was very busy, so it was a slow walk up towards Chalk Farm...a lot of people ambling slowly about on their way to Camden Market. We cleared the throng, and walked on up Haverstock Hill to the Everyman Cinema opposite Belsize Park tube station. Saw the new Korean/American movie, "Past Lives", a story of leave-taking and life changing choices that lead to lost love...nicely done, and quite moving in a quiet way. Walked back down the hill and caught a No.323 bus in Prince of Wales Road. Had time for a cup of tea at home before ambling up to Kevin and Laurence's at No.93 for dinner. She'd cooked a tasty chicken and mushroom dish....coq au vin minus the vin, which we ate with rice and broccoli. Pleasant evening catching up and having a beer. We made some loose arrangements to go see stuff at some point...got home around 2330. I then spent about two hours sitting on the loo...got to bed around 0145!!!
