This evening we got to enjoy the company Riley of Riley. We dined with her at Jasmine, one of her favorite local restaurants. We relied on her suggestions and the three of us shared the Sweet and Sour Chicken and the Jasmine Special Shrimp Fried Rice with Fried Cheesecake for dessert. We introduced her to geocaching as we found a cache in the restaurant parking lot. After her busy day of dance, she was game after dinner to head for home and play some games with us. Perhaps the most fun of the evening was a rousing game of War during which she was dubbed the Queen of Aces. After the dancing couple returned there were a few rounds of dominoes and a viewing of the latest episode of Tiny House Nation followed by some interesting discussion. Then a big group hug to tide us all over until tomorrow morning!
Caligula at Strawberry Hill
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
