Visit the Natural History Museum. We've tried before,but it's usually more crowded. This time there's no school break, though there are plenty of excited children in bright school pullovers, clustering aroun the many dinosaur reconstructions and trying all the hands-on exhibits in the human perception area. There's plenty of info, much of it presented in visually impressive form - e.g. the rati of hormones to blood shown as a cylinder of quite realistic blood coloured fluid accompanied by a teaspoon of white liquid. Or the poster indicating thesize of a dinosaur by showing it stretched out over a double-decker bus.

Over to Asda or ine anda look at the mobiles. Some pretty good prices but, despie the assurances of the helpful young man, nne of the Nokias prove to be tri or quad band - thus they're unusable in North America.

Mushroom and aubergine spaghetti for dinner.
