Lunch is Dim Sum!

The buns, above, were light an fluffy.  Not at all as they usually are, that is, something meant for stopping a hole in a dike.

Now off to the Tate to see some Turner!

UPDATE:

I couldn’t take photos in the Tate Britain, but … wow… the exhibit focused on Turner’s last 16 years.  It was amazing.

After Turner, we went to Westminster Cathedral for the Sung Mass.  They hadn’t been in the place before.

I love the sobriety of the style in the Cathedral.  It is simultaneously lavish and yet restrained.   Sobria ebrietas.

I spent some time with St. John Southworth.  Do you know him?

On a ledge I saw the publication I write for.  You can have one guess.

Supper was HUNGARIAN.  Hungarian is so hard to find.   This is a favorite stop for me in London.  And now I hear that their lease is up and they have to close or move!  I am distressed.

Cold Cherry Soup.

No, I didn’t have them all.  You can guess which main was mine.
