There was a few minutes respite from the persistent rain. The sun appeared briefly to let"man with pram" make a dash across the fallen leaves  with his "3X3 + 2" to get back home.

A long 9:30 am shadow at home as I left for Tai Chi. Copse with two benches and and alien indentations!  A Kieferesque painting in a Goldsmiths College studio space.  Bench with alien indentations! Studio space Goldsmiths College. A charming Goldsmiths student indulging others who were viewing her studio space.

Anish (Anus) Kapoor at the Royal Academy or a butch Niki de Saint Phalle...perhaps!

I am not sure why I should be perplexed but I am. What is it that made the Royal Academy display the Anish Kapoor works?

That piece I must admit is the most interesting......it appears to have mass on a grand scale (grand again) but actually as you progress around to the side.....................it really is  slight.....relatively speaking. For the rest of the show......................well what did we have?  A block of wax that traveled through several galleries like a giant suppository shoved up someones ass......and tight enough to make it bleed.  A gun firing red wax splattering the stuff around the gallery producing the effect of nothing less than a shit splattered toilet bowl..................what was the ...

Three Flags, Steeple and view Southwards. Road with car. Elephant and Castle, Post office Tower and Wheel. Somewhere on the way to Leeds. All a bit of a disaster visit.
