And precisely at ten of the clock they left the house, Tereza carrying the ironing board and SHE with old wicker full of glass ramekins and a bag of videos, heading for HER other charity in Cadogan Street.
Followed by a delicious cup of coffee, "Thank You Tereza" and a long chat, then she went her way and SHE caught a bus to the Fulham Road.
Getting off at the Library, SHE walked back to Parson's Green Lane and went off in search of the pub.
Well, it obviously had been a pub at some point in time in its' life but now it is a restaurant called Cote Brasserie, 45-47 Parson's Green Lane, SW6.
So it is a very good thing that SHE is meeting GJ at her house and then they are off on their jaunt, otherwise poor GJ would be walking up and down the Lane looking for a non-existent pub!
In SHE went and yes, it was the right place, SHE had been to dinner there almost a year ago, the food had been delicious. A member of staff came and said "did SHE need anything?", so SHE made a reservation and left.
Walking slowly down the road, with old wicker trundling along, SHE realised that there was no chance of getting to the business in north London before it closed at one of the clock, a quick call to the office saying SHE would be with them on monday meant there was, now, no panic.
And that was lucky because SHE heard HER name being shouted, stopped and espied an old colleague coming up behind HER.
"What are YOU doing in this neck of the woods" they asked, "would YOU like some lunch?".. "is water wet" SHE replied and they walked up towards Fulham Broadway and into a new place called 'Manuka Kitchen', 510 Fulham Road, SW6.
They shared a couple of small plates and had a dessert.. perfect! Light.. very tasty food!
Chatchat chatter.. so much to catch up on, She realised that SHE has allowed HER life to become quite dull, silly as there are lots and lots of lovely things to do in this glorious city.. without spending oodles of dosh! (lots of money).
But to have two splendid lunches back to back is a huge treat and also to spend the time earlier with Tereza, SHE is fortunate to have these friends.
Tomorrow SHE is off to get flowering bulbs, SHE has found such a clever way of planting up pretty cache pots without the wet soil touching the porcelain or glass.
Supermarkets sell bowls of stir fry mix or salad leaves etc, etc.. those plastic bowls are absolutely the perfect 'liners' for cache pots!
SO upon coming home, SHE disappeared, rather like a rabbit down a hole, underneath HER coats and came out with several very pretty pots and a big glass bowl.
The Hyacinths will be up soon, it is time to plant some other bulbs as a follow on.. white Scilla will do the trick!
They are pretty, perfumed, perennial, just perfect.
That is HER jaunt for tomorrow, also to get all sorts of varieties of Beans to start off at home, they will come from the secret seed supplier.
WE call them that because they think they are a food shop! But they are much, much cheaper and of great quality, good for growing on the plots.
In fact, they 'do' very nicely, thank you.
Now, it is bed time for both of US. I shall post over the week-end. Yawn.. sleepy time.
