lacunae

M & I have been talking about the Whispering Wall for years, but whenever we’ve been in Grand Central we’ve forgotten or been busy doing things like catching a train to Beacon. Yesterday, after an afternoon at the research library, we found ourselves in the food court at Grand Central. As walked toward the 6 train, we noticed two guys in corners in an archway, diagonally across from each other: oh! the whispering wall! As soon as they left, we took their places.

evensong on a february night, perfect.

I was walking along the path on the other side of the Thames and ended up at the foot tunnel under the river to Greenwich, & figured I’d check it out, & I’m glad I did. The symmetry of the buildings of the naval college, the green of the lawns, the big hill and the observatory at the top of it, lunch at Goddards pie and mash—all so pleasing!
