Up To Town because the morning was full of meetings at Ofwat, where I have a role as a Non Executive Director. First on the agenda was a workshop on the Thames Tideway Tunnel (as an aside, if you missed the £15 Billion Railway on BBC2, you should set your iPlayer immediately!). Then a couple more Committee meetings before it was time to meet Mrs L for lunch.
We had chosen the restaurant at the top of the Walkie Talkie building at 20 Fenchurch Street.
Prior to finding our table, we had a wander through the rooftop gardens, as well as a look at the great views across London. Lunch was a pleasant surprise: excellent food and not over priced though the laconic French waiter was a bit much!

Thence to the Inventing Impressionists exhibition at the National Gallery: just the right size to enjoy but not be overwhelmed. A quick cup if tea before sending our way to the National Theatre for the epic performance by Ralph Fiennes in Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman. A long play at 3 hours plus but, as ever at the National, fantastic sets and a large cast. Fiennes's performance was a tour de force - just learning all those lines...!
Amused myself on the way home testing my knowledge of the Rules of Golf. The R&A have a great app that not only provides a rule book but also an entertaining quiz that you can play.I regret to say that I cannot manage a 10/10 score every time!
