keralan fish curry

Another brilliant day for daddy-day-care. Having spent yesterday swimming and wandering around Barnes, today it is all about culture.

We go to the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaurs again, with a side order the elephants and zebras and the added bonus of including trips on buses and trains. There were potential pitfalls, however:

Hammersmith Bridge is closed so we have to walk in the rain to the station, and on arrival I'd failed to take into account the fact it's half-term, so it's packed. Not only that there was a 45 minute queue to get into the dinosaurs because the mammals exhibit was closed. Double bugger.

Still, he was aces and proceeded to 'exhibit' for various foreigners, and then for the lovely Louise when she met us for lunch. We seek refuge in the V&A, where she quickly spots his ability to take advantage of an echo-y room with a loud roar, before going over to the Science Museum to play in The Basement.

We're back in time for mummy to return from the spa, and one funny bath later it's time for us to beat out the cold with an extra-gingery fish curry - hurrah for Nigella!



Food of the Milos
A relatively good food day - scrambled egg for breakfast, then a variety of snacks whilst we queued up (marmite rice cakes, apricots) and then some crisps and apple juice in the V&A. Although I noticed Louise used him as an excuse to buy a child's roast dinner. For dinner he had jacket potato and half a slice of cheese on toast.
