Thursday October 27 - London

Had to put the brakes on my sightseeing today because the cold I've been fending off for the past few days made a strong attack.  Poor Ferris had to listen to me coughing much of last night so I decided to take the morning and noon off and join the group again in the afternoon. It was a good thing too; turns out the group went on a long walking tour and then a trip to Cambridge to visit a fan museum.  This would have been much too much for me.

Met the gang at 4pm near the British Museum at the studio of textile designer Margo Selby.  As I approached all I could see were arms flailing and grabbing garments off hangers.  As an outside observer it looked as to me as if Margo did quite well by our visit.  I enjoyed having a glass of champagne and watching wallets and credit cards fly.

Ferris and I dashed off early via Tube to Waterloo.  We had tickets to see "The Kitchen" at the National Theater on the South Bank.  Ate a casual dinner at the cafe there in the cafe before our 7:30 performance.
