I don’t think I did any New Year’s resolutions last year - I remember going to a museum to see the small face of Alberti and to assume his motto - nor will I now. Looking forward, although potentially

점심은 소호에서 치킨 파이와 런더너 소세지, 매쉬 등. 학교 쪽으로 가는데 날이 덥고 사람이 많다. 몬모스 야외에서 커피를 마실까 했지만 엄마는 이제 딱딱한 의자에는 못 앉겠다고 한다. 푹신한 소파가 있는 다른 카페에 자리를 잡고 그곳에서 엄마가 기다리는 동안 금방 M을 만나고 올 생각이었는데 세 시간이나 지난 5시가 돼서야 재회했다. M에게 엄마가 들고

타워 브리지를 건너 강변을 따라 런던 브리지까지 걸어갔다. 바람이 불면 살짝 추울 정도로 갑자기 날씨가 선선하다. 버스 정류장에 잠시 앉아 쉬는 동안 다양한 차림의 관광객들이 부산스럽게 우리 앞을 가로질러가는 것을 보며 엄마는 사람들의 움직임이 베를린과 비교했을 때 훨씬 더 무질서하게 느껴진다고 했다. 사우스워크 대성당 뒤쪽의 계단으로 내려가자 먹거리가 줄

동네 산책도 할 겸 잉글리시 브렉퍼스트를 먹을 계획이었지만 이미 조식은 끝났다고 해서 다른 곳을 찾아보다 근처 쉐이크쉑에 들어갔다. 십 년 전쯤 처음 강남에 오픈했을 때 지방에서부터 새벽차를 타고 올라와 몇 시간씩 줄을 서서 먹는다는 소리를 듣고 정신 나간 사람들이란 생각을 했던 기억이 있다. 처음 갔는데 들었던 대로 감자튀김이 맛있었다. 엄마는 오고 나서

As a small ceremonial close to the year, I decided to go look at Alberti's portrait on a medal, on the back of which would be his winged eye with the epigraph Quid tum. I write 'would be' because—rath
