I don't think I'd nipped over to York for the afternoon for many years; it was nice. One of the good things about being close to somewhere is not having to do all the touristy things in one go. I'm sure I'll get back to the Minster sometime, but I spent far longer in Barnitt's than anywhere else. They have little wooden tongs for fishing toast out of toasters, if anyone needs some...
Barley Hall has got more rooms open than last time I went, and there were also a couple of period-dressed musicians there; the flute and harp duets were nice, the bagpipe was pipey.
I'm pretty sure I hadn't been to the city art museum before- some nice Japanese prints.
The NMM's cinema got A Prairie Home Companion in. It was slight, but pleasant, and somehow manages to be really feelgood despite a plot that should be quite depressing. Garrison Keillor's voice was probably my favourite thing about it, though- he's one of the short list of people who will replace all newsreaders and continuity announcers when I rule the world. (Not that there's anything wrong with Charlotte Green, but wouldn't Stephen Fry be more comforting when the world's going to hell?)
