Talk at the National Portrait Gallery at 1:15 by Oliver Herford on a Keats portrait by Severn. Very good - careful, scholarly and moving. Easy to forget how very young Keats was - died in Rome at 25. Severn, his friend, accompanied him to Rome and stayed with him until his death a few weeks later.

Supper at the Old Bell in Kilburn. Curry night. Curry and a pint for £6.
