This has always been one of my favourite rooms in the British Museum and the nereids have a wonderful élan. I was surprised how busy it was today; the busiest place I've been in months - but, to my delight, hardly anyone at the Parthenon marbles, When I say busy, of course, it was nothing like the heaving throng that you get in normal times - which is why I hardly ever go there. It's good to be out and about again even if it does feel regimented. Later I went for a stroll through Bloomsbury which was looking suddenly autumnal.
