Current Events

Yesterday Rachæl and I went to a show at the Pumphouse Gallery. The artist hired an interior designer to change the interior of the gallery and hired a video crew to capture all of their interactions and then created a video presentation in the style of home renovation shows that are popular on speciality cable television stations.

It was funny.

Today I walked to the Peckham Library and was excited to see it. Strangely it is covered in mesh and there is a 4 story ascent before one hits the books, but once there the reward was a nice normal library! I have been feeling a bit library starved. The one closest to our place is very small and lacks wireless internet. There is another one a train ride away, that is a very nice place to sit, but lacked stacks. I found the entire Peckham neighbourhood to be lively and fun to wander around. I found a stamp in a very crowded Post Office and conversed with the impatient people in front of me.

I found a Canadian shop near Covent Garden and got a Coffee Crisp from them. It is good to see some French again.
