The Bag Lady

Maggie and I had brunch at The Bag Lady this morning. There aren't too many places to eat in London, but this one showed up and I had wanted to check it out the last time I was in town but it was closed for Labour Day.

This time I made sure to call the place before going there as the website had indicated that the restaurant was open last time as well.

We got to the restaurant just as it opened and had the place to ourselves. The restaurant was quite quaint and had a lot of nick-knacks more than half a century old! We were told that the owner had been collecting this stuff for quite some time. Now people were bringing their own stuff to add to the collection.
The kitchen (and tiny WC).
The menu that was posted on line was out of date. I was not totally sold on the items that they had on line (someone posted a picture on Yelp) but the stuff they had on the restaurant menu looked quite appetizing. The food itself was actually quite good, and I probably would go back after trying out other venues in town.
Maggie's breakfast.
The restaurant was still empty when we left, but as we were leaving, a throng of people started entering the restaurant. I guess we had eaten there at a good time as the place was pretty small and only had a small kitchen to serve the restaurant.

I guess the place is fairly popular, but it is only open for the lunch service on the weekends, which makes it worth arriving early for.

We were planning on going to the beach this morning but our plans got derailed when Serena stomped on Elsy's face and we had to wait for the bleeding to stop. It took so long that there was a chance we needed to go to the hospital. In the end, we thought it too risky to leave the house this morning lest the gusher started again, and so we set up the water table at home instead.

So I am used to the soft chimes that you hear in the neighborhood when the ice cream truck comes by. This year we already had three visits, mostly on cold or rainy moments of the day. This was in contrast to the infrequent visits to our old neighborhood when I was a child. In addition, we were too poor to really enjoy a cone of soft ice cream when it did show up so I never built up that sense of tradition that others would share with their children. As suck, when the truck does drive by, I don't rush out to grab a cone for my kids. Also, the pandemic does not help either. Still, maybe one day this summer we will indulge our kids. Maybe. Oh, but that was beside the point. Today I heard the ringing of a bell. This was not the sound I'm used to for an ice cream truck so I decided to investigate with Serena. As the truck drive by, I wondered to myself how such a small truck could be used to sell ice cream much less any kind of food. But then it dawned on me: this was not a food tru

So most of the family is vaccinated now. Serena is the lone outlier, and that is due to her age. Because of that, we have decided to keep her with my parents and not send her to daycare anymore until she gets both of her shots. We had pulled her out when Omicron hit this winter and was pretty hard when we tried keeping her at home, but now that Maggie is back at work we had to go back to sending her to my parents. This situation may be the norm for a while as the under five trials for the Pfizer vaccine have not gone very well. She does not really know much about what she is missing, but she really needs to build up those social skills and daycare is a great place for learning to communicate with her peers, whether physically, or virally. But with cases at the daycare every couple of weeks or so, we figure that it is best to wait just a little bit longer..
