| Triplets fighting it out |
Although I have not been blogging for a while, I have by no means been idle ...
For my birthday treat the Triplets arranged a visit to the London Post Museum, complete with riding the little post train! If this means nothing to you, I have you know that there used to be a mini underground train in London that was used to transport letters. It fell into disuse, but last year was brought back into service as a tourist attraction.
We took some photos, but they were sub-standard. Never mind, here is a link to a whole webpapge of excellent photos on the internet that will get you an idea of what we saw.
It was perfectly monumental, of course, like all Triplettish adventures!

I also did do the annual end of year coin count, but have to disappoint you - I found very few coins during 2017! I like to think this is because I have had a happy year and looked up rather than down, and thus missed all the coins that rolled into the gutter....
Anyway, I found the following:
£1.00 x 4 = £4.00
£0.50 x 1 = £ 0.50
£0.20 x 10 = £2.00
£0.10 x 3 = £0.30
£0.05 x 26 = £1.30
£0.02 x 9 = £0.18
0.01 x 40 = £0.40
Plus a few euro cents. So a total of about £9. Never mind!
It's enough to go for a decent coin drop, which will happen on 20 April along the Thames Embankment, followed by a slap up meal at the Butlers Wharf Chop House.
Perhaps I will do a little coin-drop with the euro-cents when I am next in Paris visiting the Fourth Triplet ...
