18 February 2009 -Supper with an old friend

I met up with Helen Herrington after work today. She was in town doing some shopping and meeting up with her son on the South Bank. It was lovely to see her and catch up on news. We went for an Italian in a restuarant opposite The Duke of Yorks Theatre. She had planned to be on a cruise in the Caribbean now with her Sister but had to cancel at the last minute when her poor Sister broke her ankle. Instead she has now booked a flight to New York on Saturday and is going across "the pond" to spend a week with her daughter Caroline. She was interested to hear about our trip to New Zealand and Australia in April and suggested we visit a place called "Jim Thompson's House" when we have our 2 day stop over in Bankok. I will add that to our list.
