The sun was shining fitfully between clouds and we discussed the possibility of having lunch in Percy Circus. Once we stepped outside, however, we felt it was too chilly for eating outside. In the meantime we had some shopping to do.

First we called at Muji in the Angel Centre.

Then we passed through Chapel Market which was very busy, much like its old self.

We needed something from Marks & Spencer. Fortunately, it wasn’t crowded.

We queued at the checkout (remembering to leave one metre between ourselves and others) and paid for our purchases. (Will we laugh about all this one day, I wonder?)

We walked back along Chapel Market where the pub and cafes had their tables outside. Lunching al fresco is definitely in fashion!

We walked down Amwell Street to Myddelton’s deli. By now it seemed a little warmer and we decided to join the al fresco club ourselves and have lunch there. I acquired a table while Tigger bought lunch and coffee.

We had toasted baguettes and a cheese tart. And coffee, of course!

After lunch we returned home, though we have plans for this afternoon.

As we passed Myddelton Square Gardens, we spotted a crow, busy with something. We saw he was gathering twigs, presumably to build a nest. (He was rather far away so the image is somewhat blurred.)

After an absence, the Phantom Newspaper Dumper has returned. I can only presume that the delivery person runs out of time or energy (or both), dumps the load and claims to have delivered them.

We reached home where we had a rest (the less you do, the tireder what you do do makes you!). We may go forth again later.
