Okay, where are we, it's Thursday AM now? We're trying to make it to the British Museum today and go see Iphigenia at Aulis (I'll let you look up the review on the New York Times website) tonight, but the TKTS office doesn't have any TicKeTS so I'm not sure what we'll do ...
( Thoughts from last night: )
( On tea: )
Our evening in Streatham Tuesday was most lovely, with fabulous company and very good food. We stayed quite late, necessitating a cab ride home (the trains stop running very early but the £15 seemed cheap for the convenience) and a late start to Wednesday. Our daytime was mostly spent at the Tate Britain, where I was very disappointed to discover that Millais' "Ophelia" apparently crossed the Atlantic without informing me (damn those water-loving women). We were finally kicked out at 5:50, without having once cracked our sketchbooks. Damn this city! It seems I will not be able to get the best of it before I leave, and will have sights left unseen even with three more days to go. But I was right when I thought before we left that I would be able to stay here for nine days and never get bored.
A final note: I need to remember in the future to keep an eye on my food consumption. I have been so busy I have NOT been eating properly, and it's been making me run out of energy (and enthusiasm) far too early in the day. I'll write something up about all of the things I've learned about travelling better once I get back, as well as a thorough review of The Caswell.
