Anecdote
We went to the Paradox Museum in London yesterday, meeting up with my elder daughter and her fiancée. It's more of a museum of illustions than of paradoxes, but it was good all the same.
Here's one of the few pictures I took that didn't have a person in it:
Afterwards, we had lunch in some kind of vegan restaurant, which was good but expensive. It turns out that the vegan version of crème brûlée is actually just crème caramel with some hardened sugar on the top, but I like crème caramels so actually quite enjoyed it. It tasted like the ones my mum used to make, except without the layer of cigarette smoke infused at the bottom (that is, the top while they're being made upside-down).
I went home after that because the others were going to a musical, Mulan Rogue or something. I might have gone if it were Cabaret, because at least the music makes contextual sense in that, but I find musicals a turn-off so spared myself the price of a ticket.
I was considering going to visit the British Museum, as I was in London, but my daughter had given my wife a birthday present and she didn't "want to be carrying it about inside" so handed it to me. I didn't want to be carrying it about inside either, so gave the museum a miss.
I have just eaten an entire Easter egg for breakfast. Ah, happy days.
