It’s a short walk. Across Millennium Bridge, between St. Paul’s and the Tate Modern. It’s usually part of a grander walk, maybe down the South Bank from Borough Market, or from the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand, as was the case last Friday. Last perfect, cloudless Friday.
I was on a training course that Friday. Business Objects. “Bobjects.”
The course ended early (the complimentary pint of bitter at lunch did not bode well for afternoon questions). SoI took a wander around the City and did something I’ve always wanted to do: watch the Court of Appeal in Action at the Royal Courts of Justice.
I sat in on a court session for 10 minutes but never really figured out what the hell they were talking about. Still, great fun to watch the wigged barristers in action. The building itself is pretty damn cool, a huge Victorian Gothic affair.
But Friday’s weather was just too unusually amazing to waste indoors, so I headed out to my favorite walk, which I met just in time for sunset, which cast a strange pink shadow on Saint Paul’s. In a way, I almost like the throngs of tourists and digital cameras on Millennium Bridge. Mass appreciation of architecture gets me every time.
And on this particular day, well, the sky was so clear and the sunset so perfect, I couldn’t help but fill up with excitement and novelty for being able to enjoy it on a workday.
