This weekend we have been visited by our niece Pei Theng Ng, a Malaysian national, who has just finished her degree at the London School of Economics (LSE) in London. She has now decided to get her MSc at the University here in Kingston upon Thames.

Prior to joining the course in September she will have to move all her accumulated "stuff" to her new accommodation, but that will not be available until September. Our "stuff" covers every inch of space in our flat, so we cannot store Pei Theng's, the only solution is a self storage facility.

This weekend we have been organising this, so she stayed the weekend.

Last night we all went out for a meal at the local Basil Diner (click to read and see menu). It is a good quality restaurant, serving fantastic food for a reasonable price. The problem is the location. Parking is I think a problem, thus diners are few. Such a pity.

Again we find ourselves without hot water. No shower, just a wash down in cold, cold water.

Perhaps a day in Central London may help. Perhaps not, as I love aircraft and today there is the RED BULL Air Race over the river Thames, and I know I will not see it, as Mee Len and Pei Theng have no idea about what it is about nor and liking for aircraft or the sport.

And so it was. I did not see the air race, but we went to the New World Chinese restaurant in China Town, London for Dim Sum. (C4more).

More food, but good. Small snacks served from tollies pushed around the restaurant.

                        

Oh Poo Poo, (click to understand) there is no hot water again, such is life, be a good uncle, do what I have to do.
