Yesterday evening we feigned interest in classical music by going to the BBC Proms at the grand Royal Albert Hall. I've walked passed the wedding cake building a few times, and was always quite curious about how it looked from the inside. The interior received praise it rightly deserved--blue lights hanging from the ceiling, long red and gold curtains, its enormous capacity, all created an atmosphere different from the relatively humble RFH. There's a small pond of some sort in the centre, which looked incongruous to its surroundings, but then I realised that the dead water might be of use to people who can't stand the heat just in case they find the urge to dive in. It was so hot in there that I find it hard to concentrate--well, maybe that's a good excuse. HY spent a couple of minutes inventing his manual fan made from RAH leaflets, then he simply closed his eyes pretending to be too moved by the music. A tip for cheapskates if you're around the posh neighbourhood: go to the bar in Imperial College for cheap drinks.
