An early start. i alarm for 4am but didnt get up til 5:05. a bent deraillieur cage almost derailled arrival at coach station on time but i got there. quite busy at 6am but thankfully noo-one sitting next to me.

bus route 38 cancelled due to combined right-wing flag shaggers and pro-palestinian protesters.

a nice iteration at national gallery led me to buying a useful book.

i looked at and learned about

st gerome in his study
arrows being shot into saint sebastian by Pollaiuolo
a dutch winter scene by Henrick Avercamp

i found it inspiring that artists honed their skill and bequeath us something…. maybe i will bequeath a system for an insurance product that is admired in the future.
