April 11, 2008

 Slept in a bit.


Today was less ambitious:  I just walked to the Museum of London and back. (Over half of that place is being renovated, but they still have the pre-Elizabethan section.)


Took several pictures:  the statue of a queen in Queen's Square (they used to think it was Queen Anne, but now they think it's Charlotte of Mecklenburg, wife of George III), a statue of Peace near Smithfield's meat market, the Barbican complex, Gray's Inn, St. Paul's Cathedral seen from an alleyway.


Went to see if the Barbican Centre had an interesting art exhibit, but it was just contemporary art as seen by an extra-terrestrial(?). I felt safe missing it.


Dinner was turkey scallops with spaghetti.


Phoned home twice.  The first time only Moira was home; second time I spoke to the parents.


Bought the book 101 Forgotten Films at High Stakes, a store full of books on gambling.
