Interesting Things I Did Today

--Returned to the Victoria & Albert Museum to see a new special exhibit they have on Surrealism and design. I quite like Dali, Magritte, and Man Ray, so it was good to see them well-represented. Definitely worth the £5.

--Made a stop at Harrod's, the famed department store. Beyond massive, beyond pricey (often to the point of hilarity, particularly the food prices at the many cafes throughout the store).

--Walked back from there to the flat, all the way through Hyde Park, which is utterly massive. Wandered into an area which is apparently a location for street preachers of all sorts -- all of them rather angry. Several Muslims, a Christian guy of some domination (giving an anti-Muslim diatribe), and, most unusually, a Jesus-looking (long beard, long hair) man in a white robe and a yellow security vest, wearing a plastic lobster. He delivered a long, very funny rant/comedy routine about religion, and his intention to start his own (with the aforementioned lobster as its icon).... maybe you had to be there.
