Dreamed of meeting Moira and telling her I had liked the book Cold Mountain; the funeral scene in The Searchers where the woman urged John Wayne not to let the two young men waste their lives seeking vengeance and he ignored her.
Spent the afternoon at the British Museum. They had a special exhibit of Japanese artifacts.
Lunch was chicken.
In the late afternoon I actually had an hour or so to spare! (I read Private Eye magazine.)
Dinner was lamb curry.
Saw a play of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men at the Old Vic, after another race to get there in time. (Like the National Theatre, that place shows lots of interesting plays.) Steinbeck's social realism is pretty depressing, but it makes for good theatre (and cinema). They had a good Lenny. The audience had a lot of noisy schoolkids. I got a front row seat!
