After we walked the dogs, we caught the 201 bus to Streatham then changed to the 118 to Streatham Common.......my oyster card not accepted...no money on it...whoops...the driver let us on to next stop to a shop so we could top it up...a very kind women told us that trains take a lot and each bus trip is £1.80 .
Topped up both cards and got the next 118 which stopped right opposite Jenna and Alex flat. We had managed to get appointment at Jenna 's dentist for a clean and Polish, very handy right next to the station. Very gentle and friendly staff, £55 each and free samples of tooth picks, toothpaste and I bought some more floss sticks.
Pouring with rain when we came out, so sheltered in their porch till it eased up then ran over the road to the pub for lunch, great the way a lot of pubs have diversified to cafe style food with tea and coffee at lunch time. We had a child's breakfast, sausage or bacon with egg and beans on toast £4.50 each and we had a pot of spiced apple tea.
Jenna arrived home from work, Alex shortly after, got in the car and drove to Tesco supermarket for provisions for tonight's BBQ. It was raining hard as we came out so drove back to their place unloaded the shopping left Alex to sort and prepare and we hit the road to the airport. Traffic was horrendous and rain didn't help, the plane landed, we messaged to say 20 mins away so they said they would have a coffee.
Arrived and got a park straight away, met up and it was a a lovely surprise for Prue and Rachel.
The queue for coffee was so long they hadn't had one, so we all got takeaway coffee's and hit the traffic jam back to Streatham.
Tony and I had to dash back to feed the dogs, so Prue came with us to see Bessie, while Rachel had a shower, Tony drove the car back fed and played with the dogs whike I took Prue to see our Bessie.
Then all back in the car to Jenna and Alex for delicious bbq cooked on his new gas bbq that his parents bought him for his birthday. Very enjoyable and successful evening.
