Tuesday 4 September
Ominous news as we packed for the train from Newcastle back to London: only three lines of the Underground were working, the rest were on strike. This blast from the past of Old Labour (where they gave you a blink 15 minutes before they turned the electricity off, so you could put on a last kettle for tea) was going to complicate our journey, and perhaps delay our dinner. So just before leaving we had a biggish pub lunch at Fitzgerald's on Grey Street - the food nothing to write about, but the Newcastle cask ales (Landlord's Ale in particular) were fine.
As it happened, we stepped out of King's Cross Station and caught a 30 bus immediately; though traffic was snarled, we got home in excellent time, all things considered. Still, we stuck to simplicity in preparing dinner, and raided Elizabeth's freezer for some Sainsbury's frozen tortellini stuffed with ham and parmesan cheese. Just tossed them with a few of those ever-popular roasted tomatoes in oil, sautéd some garlic, poured some white wine, and that was that.
