I had a fab time and wandered around in familiar (Covent Gardens) and less familiar (Spittalfield Market) areas. Spent a whole, rainy day in Tate Modern and did the tour so I ahd some idea what the weird and wonderful artworks are about. Here are some snaps of less usual London.

I’m heading to London on Wednesday for a few days, so I hope to have lots of interesting photos and things to post when I get back next week sometime. I’ve nearly finished my filing at work, so I’m getting into that ‘not working’ mode. So far, so good.
Here’s Linda’s back garden in Inverurie. She has to dig her way out daily and won’t be able to use her car till spring!
What are these lumps?
I thought about taking up painting in my ‘downtime’ but maybe not chairs! If you look closely you will see the patches and some of you might be thinking ’she didn’t sand that properly’ and ’she should have given it a second coat’ - and yes, you’re right. But a couple of arty pals saw it and liked the paint effect, so that’s how I’m leaving it!
Yes, but is it art?
I got a new microwave yesterday, chosen not for its green credentials or its price, but for its size, the smallest available, and of course for its good looks in my fabby kitchen. Note the Warhol tea towel in the bottom corner, and the brightness in the top corner. The bulb went weeks ago but we couldn’t work out how to remove it and here we are 2010 and it’s working again - it’s a sign, I’m sure it is!
Shiny new microwave for 2010
