An early morning swim at the local Virgin Leisure centre. It's nearly 6 months since I've been for a swim and after only 8 lengths I was feeling the strain. I splashed on and managed to complete the half mile that I used to do in 20 minutes but this time it took many minutes longer.

We were particularly interested in the Ferrari Exhibition. I've never been a particular fan of Ferrari - too ostentatious for my liking but the early models are iconic and you can see how many of the sports cars of today have replicated the shape of the early Ferraris.

The images are really incredible however there is so much technology involved it makes me wonder whether it is worthy of the acclaim they get. I guess, as with many things in life, it is all about being in the right place at the right time and knowing where to be is the skill.

After more use of public transport (underground and overground) we eventually arrived back at the car parked in Hampstead. At this point it had rained incessantly all day so visiting exhibitions was the best thing we could have done.

Dinner out at <a href="http://www.pashaislington.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pasha</a> restaurant (Turkish) in Islington - excellent.
