We flew home yesterday, having had a great time: but I need time to recover.
I started keeping a diary, but it petered out. Instead, here are pictures of
Ajay and Iciar’s wedding, Segovia and
everything else.
This afternoon we were meant to walk around the Northeast corner of Leamington
photographing pubs. We didn’t feel up to it. Instead, we went to Victoria Park
with Tracy, Chelsea and Ian. I did get one pub photographed: The Cricketers.

Before dinner, we went for a stroll down the canal, then back along
various streets, bagging photos of another 11 pubs, making a total of 25 to date.
We went to see “I, Robot” at the newly refurbished Apollo last night. I’d
been led to expect something quite bad, but I thought it was excellent:
never boring, good action, far more intelligent than a summer blockbuster
deserves to be. Certainly there were silly things (why is “decomissioning”
a robot such an elaborate procedure, when smashing their head [...]
