Another full day of Culture under the belt with sore feet to show afterwards. Spent the day at the Tate Modern which was pretty fabulous, well for the most part pretty fabulous, I still have difficulty with Arte Povera, but what the hell if someone wants to look at shit, they can. Frequent contributor to the comments section, Andy Bell called, whilst we were in the Tate Modern and we have arranged to meet up (today) for a swally. Looking forward to it, thewife and I have worked out that I haven't seen Andy in about 20 years and she hasn't seen him in about 25. I know he has changed though, his voice is different, dropped? No just kidding, more anglified I think. The good thing about long walks along the South Bank of the Thames is that one does need to frequently stop for a rest and refreshment and we had several of those. I would skip Gabriels Quay though, boy can those people seriously overcharge for almost evrything in their little handmade craft stores. We skipped the pint of Stella in a shed for � 4.50 and instead found an attractive pub on the Bank which sold a decent Pint of 80/- for just under � 3.00 hah.

Then off to a Mexican restaurant Pacifico (Free Ad) in Covent Garden. Damn fine place, authentic looking, smelling and sounding and the food was extremely good, as were the Margueiritas! The service was fine and we were quite happy to accept the (Optional) Service Charge already added to one's bill which seems common in this part of the world, as the service was extremely efficient, courteous and attentive.

Even made it home in time to catch the West Wing.
