Wanderings

This morning, we had to go to King's Cross early and purchase another travelcard. We then took the Victoria line out to the last stop in Walthomstow Central. There, were visited the William Morris Gallery. It was pretty cool, and definitely the densest concentration of Morris stuff. Best part was that they had a facimile of the Kelmscott Chaucer, and I was able to check if Parliament of Foules was in it (it was) and if there was an illustration for the court (there wasn't). I then set out to meet Sean and Annie at the Pret by the Victoria and Albert Museum, but the tube was difficult and it took me a while.
We ended up eating at a nearby cafe because Pret was too busy. Then we went to the "Telling Tale" exhibit, because I wanted to see it again, and I knew Sean would appreciate it. Then I left them and went to the National Arts Library inside the museum to try and track down the Court of Love. I narrowed down what it isn't, but still have yet to find it.
I then took a very roundabout way of getting to the Globe, and ended up running into Sean and Annie on the way. It was pouring, and my feet were completely soaked, but my 'warrior goddess sandals' (as Matt calls them) held up admirably. I managed to get me and Vrana Yard tickets for Troilus and Cresida on Sunday which I'm stoked for. I said good bye to Sean and Annie again and headed home. On the way, I realized I'd left my umbrella at the globe. :( So, when I stopped into Sainsbury for some supplies, I grabbed an umbrella as well.
I definitely made good use of my travelcard today though. I went so many places. Which of course, has left me exhausted. But in a good way. I swear, excess of walking is the best way to see London.
