Voted (LD; LD+Lab for the local election, on the principle that at least the part of town I used to live in still has the problems that Labour councillors should be good at solving: LD votes are to some extent a middle-class luxury), worked, got on a train.
Taxi across London (specifically, down Oxford Street; plenty of time to look at the really bizarre displays in Selfridges, including Liberace's rhinestone-encrusted car and much nippled neon, though I suppose I'd rather not have been looking at them on a meter). Fun though inadequately-poppy dancing, with loud cheers at the first LD gain; night-bus across London the other way, and asleep on a sofa.
Today: the Bank of England, with a fairly good museum that'll appeal to fans of The System of the World whose business skill extends to selling £5 coins in plastic packages for £9.95 and £2 coins likewise for £3.50; I refrained. Then the Museum of London, ditto for Baroque Cycle fans; half a floor of Stuarts, all sorts of maps and plans, remarks on William and Mary &c
It emerges that my mother taught law to the (bounce) new Lib Dem MP for Cambridge (bounce bounce), and we go to his new-year's party annually; the world is small.
