Day 1

Yeah I'm back! In a fairly hot weather but which seems to be very bearable with the surroundings of London.

The flight went well. I was lucky because there was no one in the middle seat. So space and more comfort, not insignificant in times of COVID.

The journey to Heathrow was smooth and pleasant. 20 minutes after the plane landed, I was waiting for my car service. The problem is that due to all the bad news about the airport, my driver estimated 2 hours after landing! So I had to wait. My optimistic side told me that at least I was in an air-conditioned place. He drove me to my flat in a brand new big red Tesla. What comfort!

At the apartment, Viktor, my meeter-greeter, was there to greet me. When we entered the elevator, it was too heavy: the two of us and the luggage, so he got out and went up the two floors. I got stuck in the elevator, halfway between the first and second floors. When he realized this, he ran from floor to floor to make me try the buttons. The guard came to explain to us that there is a sensor which was obstructed and which causes the problem. Well, since then I've been walking upstairs.

The apartment is as expected. We will be fine there.

Renée arrived late, as she had trouble finding the bus in Victoria. Anyway, I managed to see her get off the bus in front of the building. Due to the heat wave, we have limited our activities. We took a walk down King's Road. We did the grocery shopping. We went for an early dinner at a great and cute little Italian restaurant. You will see the pictures. It was good and very pleasant. We are back. Renée is already in bed and I will be going soon.  It was a days of 16,154 steps.

Can't wait to see Phi tomorrow!
