Museum and Soho Shopping

Today started off with me having a fight with the front door. No-one told me that in order to lock it, you have to push the door handle up with the turning of the key. I worked it out eventually but only after working up a sweat and throwing my hat to the floor. It still doesn’t lock easily even though I know now.

Chris and I met up with Jo and Graham at the British Museum around midday. It was raining a little, so I bought an umbrella at a Russell Square Tesco. The rooms at the Museum we looked at were wonderful, the Europe rooms, but we didn’t stay too long as the hordes were coming over the fences and we all felt that the jostling and increased heat in the exhibitions rooms was getting a bit much. Besides, the restaurant could only seat us at 3pm, so we left and walked across Russel Square and treated ourselves, for the first time, to a lunch at Farmer J.

It was good healthy fresh food served in a bowl where you get to choose your base, a main and two sides. It was delicious and very filling.

Then into the shopping district of Soho to Liberty where Jo and Chris tried out some perfumes and Jo had a good meander through the upper levels of the store. A beer and a sit down with Graham at a nearby pub afterwards before heading off to our respective homes.

We watched an episode of Hostage this evening, a new Netflix political drama, while we had a light dinner. I am quite tired still and hope to have a good night’s sleep tonight. Tomorrow is another day, but it will be a light day as we have nothing planned.Read more
