First tube ride

Today Nethra rode the tube for the first time today. We took the Piccadilly line from Osterley to Piccadilly circus to meet up with the Aussie side of our family.

It was a fun ride with couple of interesting incidents.

Few stops into the ride, a lady with a tall Boxer dog climbed into our compartment. The dog did its initial check and found the surroundings satisfactory. Then it laid eyes on Nethra and about the same time Nethra also noticed dog and thus began the staring competition! Both didn't back down and the audience between Nethra and the dog found it most amusing.. One lady even asked me if the dig was staring at the baby and I said," it looks so!" Nethra kept playing with her pram attachment and nana who was standing opposite me told me to get Nethra to stop staring. As if that were possible! Both parties thankfully eventually lost interest!

Nethra now has grown taller so her feet stick out of the pram. She figured out how to put her foot through the gap in the partition between the seats and the standing area and was initially resting her foot on an unsuspecting co-passenger! Luckily I realised and moved it away but she kept stretching her foot and stuffed it through the gap.

Apart from that she was an angel on this outing!
