Day off

I had a lovely day today. I decided I would go and visit the Bank of England Museum. It is only open Mondays to Fridays - bank hours suprisingly!! ;-) I really enjoyed it. There was a lot of information about the history of the Bank, which only became a public institution in 1946 (it opened in 1694). I enjoyed reading about the history of the bank note, which developed from the goldsmiths in London who were the original bankers.

After that I wandered to the Museum of London to have a brief look there too. I wandered around and had a look in the shop. Scott was looking for something specific to send home, and I found it there. But he will go and buy it another time. I saw one of the managers there who I know, Diana. She is a lovely person, and was very very drunk at the wedding we went to at the beginning of October!! Anyway, it was close to closing time, but she whicked me off downstairs to show me the new exhibition by three black photographers. Some amazing photos. :-)

Tonight I am a law widow again, as Scott is doing overtime. No idea when I shall see him either. :-( Early to bed methinks!
