Having at least attempted to catch up on work yesterday I wanted to get out into the city today. In the morning some of us went to the British Museum, which a person could literally spend days in. Only having the morning I focused on their Egyptian galleries which are , as near as I understand these things, fairly renowned. As I was walking out I ran into a group who was headed over to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese which is a famous old (1600’s?) English pub. In true London fashion it was raining the whole way so I ended up getting quite wet before we arrived. I think it helped me appreciate English cuisine because when you’re cold and wet nothing sounds better than steak and ale pie and a dark beer. After lunch I went over to The Hoxton Hotel which basically lets folks use their lobby as a co-working space. I’ll certainly be returning there. I’ve been needing a haircut since some time in Belgrade so in the evening I went to Ruffians to finally get my hair cut. It’s a cool place, little hipster for my taste but they handed me a beer as soon as I walked in so they met with my approval. I decided to keep the British Pub thing going (partly because I’d just spent something like $100 on a haircut) and I headed up the street to the Lamb & Flag for dinner.
