Saturday, 27 October, 2018 – Drizzly and Cold, but better than yesterday

Loyal followers of this Blog. If you find yourself in a situation where you cannot see the photos and / or the captions or alignments are messed up, please go to http://www.beauperi.com directly and all those problems should go away.

For those of my followers that know Julie well, e.g. Dawn/Chas, Lois and Peter, Brenda, Gary, Dave and Kate, sorry if I left out some worthwhile people, this is probably the main post that you have been waiting for. Here are some photos taken of the graduation by friends up in Oxford, we were still in London.

Julie in the Sheldonian Theatre

We had gone to the Sheldonian last year to see a music performance. The Theatre is circa 1669 with the most amazing roof design.

At the graduation dinner, Julie had a smoked salmon starter

and a white fish for main course

The afternoon fines up to be quite a nice day. I go for a lengthy walk around the blocks. The French restaurant had a special on where one get get all you can eat salad and fries, all you can drink champagne and rose and a main course for 30 pounds. However, it was only at lunch and the kids weren’t interested. I walked by it and there was only one patron participating, not a roaring success.

When I get back near home, I take a couple of photos of our apartment from the outside.

Those two windows are where I worked

In the mean time, while back in the ranch, Ryan and Tanika come back about 4:00. The plan is to go out for dinner at another Pub but Tanika eats some food and is not hungry.

So, since Julie has left a couple of dinners for me in the fridge, I make an executive decision that we will eat in.

Thai Green Curry and Rice for me

Ryan has a gourmet pie that was scheduled for me. Then after all that, the two of them go out for dinner.

Julie is scheduled to come back in around Midnight. I end up having a 3 hour nap while waiting. The Kids get home around 11:45 and not long after Julie arrives. Naturally she is quite wound up and ends up not going to bed until around 2:30 AM. I surprise myself by going back to sleep for a few hours.
