The length of days were now getting noticeably shorter and the temperatures cooler, delivering the sad realisation that the pleasant summer weather was definitely on the way out.
After the first day back at work for the week, we went for another jog around the common. A slightly slower average pace than yesterday’s Sunday morning but we did cover more distance.
Roslyn was busy exploring the gastronomy of London again this week. There was a showcase event she attended with Florence at Aqua Neuva, with cocktails on the roof terrace. A part of the Aqua Restaurant Group who’s other bars and restaurants boast premium addresses such as The Shard plus locations in Hong Kong and Beijing, this venue is all class.

There was also dinner with Mel on another night at Dishoom, a well-regarded Indian restaurant that, with its tapas-style dishes, blurs the line between traditional cuisine and the modern dining style.
We also discussed the merits and logistics of marrying other people (Brits) in order to claim residency and be able to stay indefinitely. In the end, we decided that considering how much we have done together whilst over here and how close it is getting to the expiry of our visas, it might look a tad suspicious if we were to suddenly marry other people.
For possibly the final time for the year, we collated our warm weather summer attire and packed our suitcases ready to jet-set off to Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday morning.

- Days are getting shorter, cooler and darker
