- dining in Middle Temple Hall
- Hunterian Museum, Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln's Inn (dead deformed things in jars!)
- Sir John Soane's Museum, Lincoln's Inn ... photo shows the museum reflected in the glass cover of a sarcophagus
- buying dancewear (a leotard)
- concert at Cadogan Hall (Handel and Haydn: Goldsmiths Choral Union, in which my friend M sings)
- wine and cats in Kew
- lunch at Ping Pong
- Natural History, Geological and Science Museums with ladymoonray and woolymonkey -- all rather hasty
- pink drink!
