UK TRIP 25/03

Felt a little worn out this morning, but picked up after having a shower and breakfast. Spent the day with Graham and one of his new friends. We went to Winsdor Castle, which was very impressive. Then came back and picked up my stuff to move to Richard's place for the last few days. Sad to be leaving Shaun's, I'm very comfortable there, but Richard has a very nice place too. Graham and I had dinner with Richard.

At a bit of a loose end these few days, I hope to meet Tony, but I some how doubt that will happen, but I have kept Tuesday free just in case. I went into town, I walked up to Leytonstone tube station, and walked over the bridge from St Paul's to the Tate Mondern. The slide installation there is very popular. Met up with Graham in the evening, and just went for a meal, instead of a show.

The big thing about today was that Shaun and I went to a club in the early hours of Sunday morning. I enjoyed the club, although nothing happened, a few glances were exchanged but that was it! I spent a good part of the evening dancing.

Another grey damp day, this time I went to the British Museum. This museum was amazing too, they don't build them like this any more. Took a while to find it, there aren't any Tube stations close by and this museum was a lot busier than the V&A. I went round the Eygptian and Greek parts of the museum, including the Elgin Marbles. Used my new phone to take some pictures, I remember the days were people weren't allow to take pictures in museums! I had a chat with Tony, who maybe free on Tuesday - sounds like it might be a busy day for me. Got back in time to have dinner, before going out to the cinema in Clapham. Saw a movie about live in the old Eastern Germany, which was very interesting and sad too in places. We finished the evening in a spanish tapas bar, talking about life in Germany.

This time I had a reason for not going out early, I wasn't very well again. At least the head cold is on the way out, now I just left with a red sore nose. Finally left the flat and went to the Victoria & Albert Museum, it is quite amazing the range and size of the exhibits that they have there. I wandered round the Kylie Exhibition, much of which I had seen previously, but there was a new section on her recent tour and the DVD from Melbourne looks great. I bought Craig a small souvenir from there. On the way back, I stopped off in Clapham and at the Woolworths there, they had the phone I was after, so I bought it! I left it to charge and went out to dinner with Charles, he's looks in good shape, even with all his problems and we had a very nice meal (with a little too much wine) and a good chat.
