Christmas
Disclaimer: Blogger is being slightly uncooperative with regards to the uploading of photos. Accordingly, I shall fill posts with descriptive prose until i've decided whether to adopt a better way of posting pix, move to MySpace or other course of action. More pix are posted on facebook if you're just dying for them.
That said, this year's Christmas celebrations did not yield as many classic snaps as last year so not so much to miss out on pictorially.
Went to London on the 23rd, had lunch with some Micromechanics friends, went to a photo exhibition "In the face of history" at my new favourite London multimedia arts venue The Barbican, did some last minute shopping on Chrissy eve then enjoyed roast pork and mulled wine at Tam and Ben's new Fulham multimedia arts venue The Harwood Arms, Xmas day biiiiig lunch (no turkey necks i'm afraid), rode bike via the City, Bankside, South Bank, Pimlico, Chelsea Embankment to Lavender Hill to see out remainder of Christmas with Kylie and Anthony, rode back on Boxing Day via [as above in reverse] except i went past Southwark Cathedral and across Tower Bridge, went to Photographic Portrait Prize at National Portrait Gallery and checked out rehung 19c paintings "Manet to Picasso" at National Gallery - very nicely set out downstairs in Sainsbury wing. Jumped back in the saddle unhindered by additional acquisitions of booksale booty, and rode at breakneck speed along Shaftesbury Ave, Bloomsbury St and Euston Rd all the way to King's X, then, without showing any sign of slowing let alone dismounting, rode right out along platform 8 through to platform 11b and onto the train where I was swiftly and conveniently brought to a halt by a strategically positioned drinks trolley.
