Today, I love London. While my better half went off to the Royal Academy to meet up with one of her teaching chums to see an exhibition of Edvard Munch, Jamie and I went to gawp at animals at London Zoo. Then we all met up on Bankside, and had an overpriced dinner and many glasses of wine in a fug of bonhomie. You couldn't have such a varied day not in London. (Awful grammar, but you know what I mean.) Click on the picture above for a bigger version.
The highlight of the Zoo wasn't the tigers or the penguins – awesome though both were – but a small exhibit of nocturnal animals tucked away beneath an out-of-the-way house that's due for renovation. The light was incredibly dim – to the extent that I was waving my hands about in front of me as I was walking – but the tiny little nocturnal mice, bush baby-type animals and bats were utterly entrancing. I could spend hours in there.
So yes, a good weekend. Very relaxing. I ought to have done a little bit of work, but I think I'll just get up early tomorrow and finish of a few bits and pieces.
And now, if you don't mind, my wife needs some TLC, so I'm off to administer it. Goodnight, all.
