Went out this pm: had to make a trip at some point to Institute Whereof I Have The Honour To Be A Fellow to pick up the ID card I muddled the info about where and when to pick up on the day of the welcome reception -
- and discover that due to the systems upgrade in progress which also means a delay in allocating new fellows institutional email addresses, mine has not yet actually been processed anyway, ooops ooops, they will post it to me, much apologies.
So I got in a nice bit of flaneuserie down Alfred Place Gardens as aforementioned herein, and I also, since I was in the area, took in this exhibition: The Word for World: An exhibition and book presenting the maps of Ursula K Le Guin, which I'm not sure I'd have made a special expedition to see, but as it was in an adjacent Bloomsbury Square, fitted in very well.
(Adjacent Bloomsbury Square in which the riffraff do not have access to the central gardens, only keyholders, mutter mutter.)
Nicely done, but I fancy I would have made more of it had I read the works to which the maps related a bit more recently than I have (Le Guin re-reads having been a bit of a back-burner project for a while).
