Those of you who know me will know that I have a special ability to lose things. Usually around week 6 (never mind that I left uni 7 years ago). Therefore, I am strongly considering doing this

I’ve just seen this cute set of photos: Dreams of Flying. Also, I will shortly be raving about the Concerto for Beatboxer and Orchestra which Shlomo & co. performed on Friday 19th at the Southbank centre. I just need to find the words…

In the mean-time, here’s a few tasters of what flying might be like. Go on, find your inner child.

Practical, yet humorous art from Pete Dungey. Also worth looking at is his pothole garden project

The Londonist is a frequent source of delights, and this does not disappoint.

Incredible use of projection onto buildings.

I thought I’d share it as it’s a great example of how creative use of standard technology can create new types of art. Or something. It’s pretty ok?!

2) It was planned, like, since forever (as they would say in an American film)

from Matthew Ch 1

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”
