Weekend things
The last Monday bank holiday before Easter 2006 has gone, and obviously as one of the movers and shakers of British life I spent it doing interesting things, so I thought I'd share some of them.Saturday - Walked to library to return some books. It was closed.
Sunday - This is a bit better. Went to the Whitechapel Art Gallery for their "Back to Black" exhibition. Wouldn't go out of my way to see it but it was quite interesting. Then went to a BBQ on the roof terrace of a friend's flat in The Jam Factory, and watched the cricket, which is highly recommended.
Monday - Watched the Notting Hill Carnival from my house. Drank too much.
Update: Wonka Fruity Wobble Drops. Highly recommended. They're slightly weird, in that they are basically jelly-tots (small fruit pastilles with more sugar if you didn't grow up in the UK) covered in milk- or white-chocolate. A combination which sounds horrid, but somehow works.
More Updates: Can't be bothered to do a full post, but today's Daily Mail readers expose I can't bring as it would offend too many people, beginning with a man who felt he neeeded to write into a national newspaper to tell the world he lives in a town called 'Fanny'. Also the Daily Telegraph felt the terrible weather in News Orleans justified a front-page lead contrasting it with our own lovely weather and the phrase 'Wish you were here'.
