London

Over the weekend, I took a break from doing nothing and spent some time in London.

I spent most of my short time there with friends and family, and the only exhibition I saw was at the Science Museum! It was about plastics, and their future, and actually really interesting, even if the target audience was ten year olds. The divination that we will be using our old landfill to harvest material for new products actually gave me a modicum of hope for the fate of the current mess. I was also intrigued by the Bakelite objects on display. At the same time I mock and marvel at it's faux-wood charm.



I expect I will be returning for a little more culture in a couple of weeks, subject to one provision: I must find a job!

During my time on the tube, I finished reading Surfacing, which I now consider to be my favourite book. This is exciting, as I never knew what to say when asked what it was. Now for some Camus, courtesy of Scott.

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.


Invincible Summer is also the name of my friend Kit Richardson's new album. She's really good, my cousin said so.
