Dad was still in the Whittington, so we arranged our day so we could pop up and see him. I did the grocery shopping before we popped into town so Dawn could get herself a new watch. We grabbed a coffee at Starbucks and picked some more stuff up at Waitrose and enjoyed the carol singers outside.
The drive to Highgate was a nightmare. All was fine until we crossed the M25. Then the A10 came to a standstill. So we headed towards the Hertford Road to try and miss the congestion. Mistake. That was even worse. We'd planned to grab lunch and then visit Dad when opening hours start at 2pm. We didn't reach Dim T until almost 2pm. We rushed down our food. Although it was excellent. The waitress made a mistake with our bill, so the manager let us have one of our drinks for nothing.
Dad was okay. George was there, too, so we all had a nice chat. Still not sure when they will allow Dad home. They are still taking tests, etc.
The drive home was just as bad as the one up. A combination of road works, rain and shopping traffic meant that the one hour journey took almost two again.
Needless to say, this evening we chilled out watching Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor before calling it a night.
