Barbican library internet and check the terminal for the Cyprus flight - terminal 5. The Tunis flight is fro, Gatwick. Leaves us just time to get to Hanover Square for the Gresham College free lecture. This is the church that Shelley got married in, a pretty sqare church with balconies on three sides. Paul and Jill are there already and we join them. The lecture is on what makes people happy and is given by a visiting professor of psychiatry. It is interesting, informative, and quite witty. Gresham College in the Inns of Court has a wonderful and varied series of free public lectures zhich Jill and Paul put us on to: A tradition of lectures that goes back over 400 years.
Then we realise that we are quite near Farm Street. Farm Street is often ,entioned in literary biographies as a Catholic centre and I am curious. Turns out to be a lovely little neo-Gothic church with beautiful vaulting and stained glass. It is officially the Church of the Immaculate Conception, run by the Jesuits and familiarly known as Farm Street - a treasure tucked azay in a quiet corner of Mayfair.
By bus to Trafalgar to pick up our new debit cards at Charing Cross. On the way to the bus stop we pass, within a block, the former home of Florence Nightingale and the former abode of Skittles, apparently the most famous courtesan of Victorian London. Then up Charing Cross Road where we find a small French dictionary at Blackwells - unaccountably half price. By now it is raining so umbrellas out and home.
Last of the spaghetti for dinner. Jenny calls to chat. She is to be off work for another two weeks and has decided to go to Cumbria to visit Jane.
