re <<for too long>> updates on the kids, the two are wandering around England, the Jack tagging the Coconut, who is doing research, dreaming up scripts, scribbling zoom-tutoring lessons earning her keep, ambling through museums, whispering in libraries, sharing meals, taking in plays, and being adults

oh, and yes, visiting where their grandfather used to hangout (Marx Memorial Library marx-memorial-library.org.uk ) and great grandfather did stirring-the-pot (China Legation en.wikipedia.org ), something about anti-colonialism and down-with-imperialism, things of that sort, in any case power-to-the-people, generally a good time that went well together with champagne this and caviar that, and especially when paired with proper music

they are keeping well ensconced at hotel abode when the Jack in town and need a choice of Range Rovers, Mercedes, and BMWs to get around London not altogether safe since the empire not as once was. No option of BYD just yet but surely just around the corner.

Once semester starts the Coconut shall re-establish self in co-living space near school in some better part of London, and before that she normally lives at friend's abode

She shall visit us in HK before semester starts

yes, the kids, all jokes aside, are becoming aware that the mission's end near at hand, someone speculated, but my take is that the Coconut takes politics with a sense of humour as a standup comic is liable to do. Hard to take politics too seriously, am guessing
... the wine was bottled a few years before greatgrandpa got inspired and before grandpa appeared on scene. The bottle survived many wars by resting in Portugal, bid its time, then got bid up
... down with colonialism, so went the mission, now nearly done done mission-accomplished, am told
... the address on the national id card and the building remains as was
... floor plan per wonderfulness of internet
... their grandpa was known to have grouped here, the Marx Memorial Library where comrade Lenin hung out earlier and the place remains to this day as was, atmospheric
still the Marx Memorial Library
... the location where their great grandpa was known to have hungout, the China Legation
... still owned by the Team China this day, but rebuilt in close approximation of original style
... the restaurant where both greatgrand- and grand- shared meals, and still in business, as the oldest restaurant in London if not in dear old England
... Coconut teaching the Jack about what the good old dayz might have been like, on a budget
... a play for more appreciation
