The Imperial War Museum

Today we walked from Limehouse to the Imperial War Museum which was about 6 km, a mixture of riverside and urban walking. We had lunch in the museum café before spending the afternoon looking at the displays on the 2nd World War (James) and the Holocaust (both of us.) The displays have been updated since our last visit (at least a decade ago) and were very good, we were there for several hours without realising it. We met Cat for dinner at Koha before going just round the corner to Wyndham’s Theatre where we met Ally (who had had a late work meeting) to see a comedy called The Unfriend. As we went in I had the tickets all ready to display on my phone screen, but for some reason when I showed it to the ticket checker, a photo of Ally swimming at the Fairy Pools in Skye came up instead! The show was amusing; it starred Lee Mack and really had the vibe of an extended episode of his tv show Not Going Out! Lee Mack’s physical comedy was excellent, he is very funny, and supporting actors Frances Barber and Sarah Alexander were very good too. We all enjoyed it. Back at the flat we had hot chocolate and said our goodbyes before bedtime because we will be leaving tomorrow while Ally and Cat are at work.
