Day out in Big Smoke


St Paul's, Rousseau, Millennium Bridge

Took the day off yesterday to visit Tate Modern to see the Rousseau show before it finishes. It was amazing, and great to go in the week when it's not so heaving. It was chocablock with schoolgirls in long kilts though, sitting in packs on the floor sketching tigers. Which was a bit freaky, frankly.

We looked and looked at the deep green leaves and the strange animals and the big beautiful moons hanging in the deep bluey green skies. Then we headed off into the sunless grey to find something warm and exotic to eat. Which we did, at Busaba Eathai on Wardour Street. I haven't had morning glory for years (kind of like chewy spinach) but I could eat it all day. M had a mandarin juice with chilli and lemongrass which was like heaven in a glass. We were very happy bunnies. And then we came home.

Hmm. I think birthday celebrations are finally over. Sniff.
