Wednesday. rain day

Exhibit day while QB takes “me” time.

Hearty breakfast at the hotel and then off to Design Center to see it and the Kubrick exhibit. Not a fan of either mid century modern design or exhibits of film but a good day for a walk in the rain of which there was more than one downpour.

Apparently large exhibit of his works, history, and techniques. I missed much of it.

After seeing a reasonable amount I mentioned to Bobby that I would wait outside for him. About 45 minutes later he emerged. Said I missed five rooms of film clips and other stuff. Oh well….

Dinner at Bobby’s with Muru in good form.

A classic and well done. Tomato salad with a bit of truffle oil.

Thursday. Rain again but not much.

Visit to V&A after breakfast at the Hyde Park Serpentine restaurant. Decent Shatshuka.

Fine staircase. Most of the museum was to be built to this standard but alas ran out of money.

Beatrix Potter exhibit. Small but with wonderful drawings. She started at 8-9 years old with good water colors in her notebook. This is not from that notebook.

Tea in their formal dining area. Someone left their wallet/purse/phone on the seat. After finishing our snack tried to turn it in to a person who led us on a shortcut to the Potter exhibit – the museum is a maze even with a map and the museum employee started to explain how to get there and then said, ah, I will open some gates and take you directly. Same happened upon trying to return to the cafe.

As I said, tried to turn it in but no. He works for the V&A and we were in the cafe area. Need to turn it into them. Milburn staff runs the cafe so I needed to turn it a Milburn staff person.

You might think that this is just an odd chandelier. But it is much more. It is an air purifier.

Dinner with Bobby. This time lamb curry, chicken curry, roti, delish cabbage dish, asparagus and tomato salad, rice, homemade kimchi. Outstanding. Muru was the executive chef, others, not us, did the cooking.
