London Journal--Days 3 & 4
Very nice people at the BL sorted out my registration problem. Yay. Today I started working again with one of my 1770s finds, and it felt like a long-lost, prized possession. I hope, and rather expect, that noone else has looked at it in the past six years since I checked it out last. I think I'll ask the librarians tomorrow.
On Friday night, Dr. S, the students and I saw an excellent production of Joanna Baillie's Witchcraft--apparently the first production in at least 150 years. It was performed in a tiny pub theatre near Earl's Court. The night before we attended a production of King Lear at the Globe; the photo is our group in the audience just before we were chastised for taking pictures inside the theatre.
Old favorites sampled so far: Covent Garden Carrot and Coriander Soup (1 bowl) Plain Chocolate Digestives (a few) Pret a Manger sandwiches (2) Starbars (3) Strongbow Cider (not counting)
