Way too much work yesterday as well. Must put my Out-of-Office message on.

In a rainy London morning, we met our friend J (and G) at his flat near Clerkenwell and headed over the OXO brasserie, www.harveynichols.com, a room with a view over the Thames but pretty ordinary food at more than pretty ordinary prices. We could see the London marathon in full swing across the river and, all in all, had a leisurely, pleasant lunch.

We left Joe and Anna´s and caught the train to Stansted for an early morning trip to Bilbao.

I will be posting photos soon.
