Woke around 0815. Aki brought me a mug of green tea. Got up and porridged. Had borrowed George and Katherine’s British Museum member cards to go see the Hiroshige prints. Walked to Finsbury Park station and caught a tube train the Russell Square. The BM was rammed, but the Hiroshige exhibition was upstairs above the Reading Room. The woodblock prints, largely early C19th, were stunning. We spent an enjoyable hour or so in there, then had a sarnie in the Member’s Room overlooking the inner courtyard. Walked up Tottenham Court Road to Heals…we were looking to buy some side plates after a couple of breakages…but they were overpriced. Found some for almost half price online.
However, we stumbled upon a collection of Case designer furniture…we have been contemplating replacing our aging sofa, and Aki liked the Robin Day inspired Forum three seater…very nice. Also looked at some rugs…made out of recycled plastic bottles! Caught a No.91 bus home to think about it. Aubergine parmigiana lasagna for dinner with a side salad. Aki researched the sofa online…the Case website are doing them at a sale price, but it didn’t beat Heals’ summer sale price…resolved to order it tomorrow and pay over 12 months interest free…now need to sell our sofa!
