A sneaky shot. As if I was going to be deterred by a "No Photography" sign...

The exhibition at the Dean Gallery was most excellent. I had seen many of the photographs dozens, if not hundreds of times before and, unfortunately, familiarity had bred indifference; but there were many images I had never seen before, and they reminded me what a good photographer she was. To cap it all, there was a sale at the Gallery shop and I picked up a nice Robert Mapplethorpe book for a fiver.

We had arranged to meet Penny at the Gallery and we went back for lunch with her and Gus. It was lovely to see them again. Now I'm full of sausage and Bakewell tart and incapable of moving.

(For avoidance of doubt, we had sausages and then Bakewell tart, not a tart of sausage and Bakewell. I don't think that would be very nice.)
