I slept quite well again, Rose stayed over but had to leave early, right after breakfast. I made a drug inventory, and went over to Ambicare with a list of drugs I am running out of to reorder from the pharmacy.
I have no treatment again today, so by 10 I was done. Only the ultrasound appointment time was outstanding. Harry arrived to visit, and we enacted my plan to visit Kensington Gardens to see the installations of Anish Kapoor (Hilla had advised me they are there).
I bought a one day travel card at Warren Street station, and we took the tube to Lancaster Gate, changing at Oxford Circus. The connection between Victoria line and Central line is pretty long here, but mostly downwards. We arrived with no incident.
The weather was gorgeous; a lovely Spring day. We entered the park looking for signage about the exhibition, but there is precious little of it. We found one sign, and went in the vague direction of the nearest piece. Unfortunately, we went the wrong side of the water, and only got to see the back of it! So we doubled back and eventually found it. But then we could not remember where the other pieces were, so we went back tot the original sign! We walked on through the park and eventually we saw all four installations. I thought two of them were outstanding, one OK, and one disappointing, I think because the sky was too clear.
We exited the park, and walked up Queensway in search of lunch. We settled on an Italian, and each had a bowl of pasta washed down with Peroni beer (I had two beers). Finally we headed home, this time changing to the Northern line at Tottenham Court Road, to get to Warren Street. This change was much shorter, although still not trivial!
Many thanks to Harry for escorting me home :), he could have taken a bus to his home from the restaurant. I think we had a great day out; we certainly both enjoyed the sculptures. I took some pictures, which I hope to post in the near future.
Back at the hotel I had a kip (crashed out would be mor accurate). This is the farthest I have walked this year! In the middle of the afternoon, the nurse rang to say that my ultrasound is booked for Thursday morning, and my drugs were in. I went over to collect the drugs and a meal,voucher, and then I had pre-dinner in the hospital canteen (the familiar panini and chips). I have just rounded off the evening with a small Chinese takeaway.
Sadly, Arsenal versus Barcelona is not on the hotel telly.
