It's school holidays, so we decide on the Saatchi Gallery, as usually not overfull of children. There's an upscale Saturday food market on outside the Saatchi, with discouragingly pristine samples of unsweetened natural organic chocolate. Can't help feeling Easter will justify a little more decadence. 

Enjoy the gallery, especially the wall of giant insects and Jorge Mayet's suspended sculpture of tree and extensive roots.

Buy a bunch of daffodils from the flower seller on the corner. My longtime favourite flower and irresistible. At 50p a bunch we would have bought many more if it weren't for a shortage of space and containers.
