It didn't take too long, but long enough, when you're sat there is the official Punish the Porkers gown, that doesn't quite close at the back, being smirked at by porters, etc. ...*@#%!!!
I'm actually feeling rather better. (Ain't it always the way?) and not coughing so intensely. A whole day without 'stress incontinence'? Yeh! I'd quite like that...
A tourist woman outside asked me the way to the Tate, which is actually rather difficult to explain. Anyway. I did my best, and she walked off, apparently content. Five minutes later I saw her asking someone else...
The second-hand furniture shop downstairs was displaying a big judges' chair, with a great high back, complete with embossed -in -gilt 'ER'. It was very comfy, seat quite high etc. That said, it was fairly old and battered, and I wondered if it would make a decent substitute for the La-Z- Boy-type thing I really want/need, if I could get it for, say, £50...They want £1200 for it! They had five, and they've only two left. The others went to 'overseas buyers' with more money than sense. I pity the fools, etc.
