there are things I miss
so I took advantage of cheap flights
and stayed with my daughter in London
just for a weekend
immediately into the hubbub
crowded tube trains
noise, cars, pollution
the need to be hyper linked to everything
all the time
no I don't live in Outer Mongolia
but I would have to drive for ten minutes
to get to the only bus that would take
me to Pamiers
there I could get a train to Toulouse
London is very connected
and it's marvellous
I missed that
I also miss going to galleries
Gregory Crewdson at The Photographers Gallery
was out first stop
Cathedral of the Pines is a large body of work
his signature grand landscapes
muted palettes and light
(detail The Barn)
as usual we want to ask questions
I'm glad I got to see them but ....
honestly?
the nudity over took the stories
it seemed unnecessary
even this young person thought so
to my amusement
after amazing lunch pad thai and green curry
at Rosa's Soho
and a spot of shopping
we visited Beetles & Huxley
I love this little gallery
it didn't disappoint
(red curtains) (holding the blue)
a collection of images by Cig Harvey
partially hidden subjects
self portraits and in glorious colour
and so to the Southbank
the record label Erased Tapes are celebrating
their tenth birthday
we delighted in a free concert by the artist
a beautiful hour spent listening to new and old songs
with like-eared people
afterwards ~ fresh dosa by the river
and a bus ride home
door to door
and that was just Friday!
