Three London Weekends

So here's what i got up to, in approximately chronological order in London over three weekends in Jan and Feb:
British Museum - French Drawings
Photographer's Gallery - 3 exhibitions
Beef bourgignon courtesy of Superchef Meehan (K)
A much-vaunted brekky at Chelsea Bun w MJ & Ali
V&A - architecture exhibition about residential spaces
Serpentine - Murderme Collection (Damien Hirst's personal collection)
Design Museum - exhibs on Design in 20c Britain, up-n-coming designers and the guy who designed, amongst other things, the V&A symbol for the V&A Museum
LSO concert at the Barbican
Rochester Big'n'Tall - finally somewhere that i can walk into on my giant elephantitus feet confident that i shall not be laughed out when i ask for size 15 loafers.
Russian Winter Festival - a whisker underwhelming
Bloomberg Space - also...
Party in Earl's Court with the old manics crew from UWA
Estorick Collection - futurists, Morandi, exhib on war propaganda posters in Italy
Sotheby's - saw the art going on sale in the Impressionists and Modern Art auction last week, which collectively raised a cool £400m
Yum Cha in China Town - with the art club, always an interesting mix
Sir John Soane Museum - mummy caskets, Turner paintings, Soane's RA lecture architectural sketches - quite a combo
Partying in Shoreditch - it's the only place to do it you know dahling, Mayfair and Knightsbridge have become soooo predictable
Tate Modern - they're amping up for a monster Gilbert and George exhib which hadn't opened yet, but it's always nice to have tea on the terrace... the members terrace...

And that was that.
