The stop near the Clapham Junction Railway Station. This must've been a day when we chose to go by bus to meet Jeantine after work in Cromwell Road.
An hour later we were in town at the Victoria and Albert Museum (often abbreviated as the V&A). This is where I was able to get in with my cycling backpack that has a hydration bladder slot, even when others were not allowed to take in water bottles. Bottles of water were available for sale, along with food options, in this courtyard area.
At the John Madjeski Gardens the music was pumping and some performers were dancing and people were sitting, drinking, watching, chatting - good vibes at the V&A Presents Friday Late. Engineering Your World. There was even a guy in a dress wrapped with plastic garden netting wandering around. Thought he was a she (Hey Babe) until he spoke to an attendant taking his photo Not sure if he was part of the programme or just getting with the feel of the event.
Cropping out the blue raincoat, we can let the pink dominate. The Victoria and Albert Museum is described as having blockbuster exhibitions and permanent decorative arts collection, with design shop and ornate cafe. More details in this Wikipedia link
There's that blue coat coming in the frame again
V&A Presents Friday Late. Engineering Your World, with a virtual reality stand
There was a folder handout, with an A4 size plain matt blue cover (with a hint of purple) that had the credit 'Programme cover design by Stephanie F. Scholz'
Inside was the handout for the day
The one specific event / exhibit we went to see was a continuous showing of a film in a theatre
P CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap, highlighting a built bias against females in the coding / software development world. Jeantine was remembering our first computer, a second hand Commodore 128 and asking did we give equal time to her and brother Cody. On recall I would say yes, although that may not have been a conscious effort.
I do remember driving out on Bethells Beach Road to a Auckland University Professor who was selling educational programmes written in basic to help in maths and spelling.
I think I learnt from Jeantine practising touch typing, and thought I would also give it a go, and that proved quite useful to me.
