London

I went to London yesterday with Zoe coz it was her birthday. We met up with Mark Walley for lunch, and went to a pub that did pies. They were rather fantastic pies, I think it must pay to specialise in one area of food. Over lunch Mark told us how he had persuaded Alice to go out with him on a first date, and then how he had to persuade her to be his girlfriend. It amused me!

We also went to the Tate Modern. There is some bizarre stuff in there. I want to know how you become an artist and get your work on display and be paid lots of money for it, I could easily have done some of the stuff in there. There was one that was 11 larger sheets of glass all stood in front of each other. Another that was a large canvas painted grey, the same shade all over. Another was a urinal, signed by the artist using a different name. Actually it was an exact replica of a urinal coz the real piece was in another art gallery, and so the artist had commissioned someone to replicate it. They could just have gone to B & Q and bought a new one really. There was also some very lovely stuff in there that was rather lovely to see!
