After much discussion last night, we chose to go to the Victoria and Albert Museum this morning. Because we didn't have the same interests, we separated upon entering and met up for lunch.
Carole and I enjoyed a second coffee, before going to see Laughing Matters: The State of a Nation. This exhibition reflects on the role of humor in debates around identity, empire and power over the past two hundred years. We also saw the design room, from 1900 to the present. On our way, we passed many other rooms that caught our attention. Dominique and Nicole went alone to visit the parts they most wanted to see.
We visited for about 2 hours and then went to lunch. We were lucky enough to have a table outside, watching the little kids playing in the water.
After lunch we went into Kensington Garden to see the always impressive Albert Memorial and Kensington Palace, home of Diana and Charles during their married years. We stayed in the park for a while. Nicole went to do the plant maze.
We took the bus to Harrods. There were a lot of people. I didn't like it very much.
We then got lost in Belgravia before arriving at the Thomas Cubitt Pub. It was now 5 p.m. and aperitif time. Do we look exhausted ? It was time we sit for awhile.
We walked back to Waitrose to buy our dinner and returned home just past it.
This evening, Dominique cooked pasta with rosé sauce. I made the arugula salad with a Granny Smith apple. It was a delight. It was another sunny day in 19996 steps. (When I climb the stairs to my room, we will exceed 20,000 steps).
