Fiona's Quiet Life

well?I didn’t go shop­ping in Brent cross,?I hitched a lift into the cen­ter of town? with Ian and went to the Tate Mod­ern gal­lery, there was a won­der­ful buzz of excite­ment about the place and young people of all ages learn­ing what is and isn’t art.….….I thought some if it wasn’t art? but a lot of it was .…I par­tic­u­larly liked the crack? that is caus­ing so much con­tro­versy, can­not see how any­body could fall into it, some people must be awfully daft. first i had lunch there it was very good. then waited till Ian had fin­ished his work his office in in Pickford’s wharf right on the Thames beside the ancient Golden Hinde ‚? it amaz­ing how small those ships were.

that night we went back into the cen­ter of town to The Ban­quet­ing Suite, White­hall where we attten­ded a char­ity din­ner in aid of Lang­dons col­lege for young people with learn­ing dif­fi­culties, i had a long talk with the head­mas­ter, a very nice caring per­son.….…...…..lovely din­ner too.

what ugly trees? there are in bits of Lon­don.…...….…it is illegal to do that to trees here in Glasgow.

drove home on Thursday through stormy ‚snowy weather because it was the first time i had entered any pho­to­graphs into a club com­pet­i­tion and i wanted to hear the cri­ti­cism in order to learn some­thing, it was good con­struct­ive crit. i.e. a little more col­our sat­ur­a­tion and trim off more of the sur­round­ing border…got 15 out of 20 which wasn’t bad as the win­ning pic got 17 out of 20.

giv­ing a short 10 minute talk to the cam­era club? next week , not look­ing for­ward to it as i have never done any thing like it before , i was going to refuse but it is on the exact anniversary of Basil’s death and i thought it might give me some­thing else to think about this week.….…..i have to put together?? some photo’s on to a Cd and think of some­thing not too bor­ing to say about them.….….….….how do i let myself get? talked into get­ting out of my com­fort zone so often.
