Dim sum with jasmine and lemon grass tea

Back to normal today. No deaths in the royal family, no side effects from COVID boosters, no train strikes, no security lockdowns, no road closures, no queues.

I took a long walk in the park this morning, breathing in the autumn air.

Then up to Colindale before a late lunch in Ping Pong. I haven't been there for about 20 years and am glad the menu has been updated to reflect the passing years. Lovely comforting food and generous amounts of lemon grass in the tea.
