MAGICAL REALISM

No, i dont know what magical realism is either.

If this is anything to go by its sitting on stools peering through holes.

But i guess its what u see.

I think it was about life.

But magical.

Some words: penny farthing, snow, stations, hypnotic, lab coats, taxi.

Lifes journey.

I guess thats it.

You should just go.

You hav to go to norwich.

They have a festival.

Go on. You can spare a day. Dammit a weekend.

Its not so bad in the wildlands.

Love,

Harley


PS did I mention I was going to be I’m a film?

DONT BE WORRYING

Don’t be worrying because tomorrow it will already be Tuesday.

*****

Sometimes its nice to stop blogging and doing stuff for blogging and have a beer.

*****

Hmmm. Maybe.

Have you got four pounds?

If you have…

Sometimes its nice to sit and watch butterflies. Then have a beer.

You can say about it when having your beer.

When your there you can say things like “oo its on my arm” or “oo its on my head.”

What better way to spend half an hour?

Well, ok, but butterflies are cool.

love,

RESTRICTED VIEW

Sometimes you get lucky and someone guides you to a better vantage point and u can see better…

*****

Even if you dont get a break… There is lots of fun to be had for a tenner.

And sometimes the restrictions arent too bad.

*****

If only the world were a musical.

As its not… 'Merrily we roll along' is a goodun.

Love,

Plucked

He embarrasses me sometimes.

He actually closed his eyes in musical reverance at one point.

Maybe he was just tired from the chalkface.

Interactivewhiteboardface.

Anyway… Barbican either bbc symph or london symph is a good way to spend a friday eve if ur not embroiled in binge drinking or amateur dramatics.

Cheap seats (and closing ur eyes) is ok cos its essentially auditory tho we had a full view of the harpest which was pleasing.

Nice word harpest.

Love,

PRIVATE PLEASURES

Spent the weekend chiefly indulging our own, non cultural, private pleasures but managed to squeeze in the photographer’s gallery.
Claire Aho.
Finnish.
That’s different.
The great thing about the photographer’s gallery apart from its freeness is its oxfordstreetness.
Nip in for a cultural pitstop whilst indulging your own capitalist pleasures.
Like buying shoes.
Warm your cold monetary heart.

love,

Harley xx

I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO

I like sleep as much as the next terrier but…

There is one eternal question that tortures this staffy’s mind…

“To do or not to do?”

That is the question.

Do.

Then be tired and make the week an uphill but happy struggle.

Do: knocking on people’s doors for a political party in the sun.

Liberal Democrats.

See smiles.

Do: tribute bands. Cheaper and they might throw in a barbecue.

Brixton windmill.

See chicken wings.

Do: theatre. U just sit down and u can drink wine.

Before the party. Almeida.

See real 3D people.

Do: galleries. U do have to stand up and walk but cultures good for ur soul kids.

Saatchi. Russian art.

See things uv never seen b4.

Maybe do less?

Love,

Harley xx

BEAUTY

This is quite a good museum.
You’ll remember daddy read Pam Ayres love poetry here to no avail.
William Morris Museum.
It is free.
It is floral.
It is fabricy.
But theres quite a lot to see and cool interactive maps and things for children/colins with short attention spans.
Obviously if your not in the finery of North East London this will be of precisely no interest to you.
Just enjoy the sheer beauty of my prose.

love,

Harley xx

PS Oh I forgot why we went… i was distracted by pretty fabrics and making poor jokes. David Bailey exhibition. The sixties came alive again or something. Yes, very good.

Private view

This is a secret.
Private Views.
Aren’t private.
Or always the best view.
Obviously this Staffordshire bull terrier is used to overcoming elitist barricades.
But you’re probably not.

‘At least stars burn out brightly’

THERE’S A LOT OF IT ABOUT

There’s a lot of it about.
Art from people on the margins.
There was some in another place we went and i think another place too.
In the wellcome collection there is an exhibition of art from people with various needs from various agencies in Japan and there is a lot of it thats truly great.
Some of the pots. Bit suspect.
But in the humble (ha!) opinion of @thedogwhatblogs the paintings and drawings are compelling in an i-could-look-at-that-for-bloody-ages kinda way or striking in an oo-thats-big-blocks-of-red-and-black kinda way.
Oh yes I’m back.
Woof.

love,

Harley xx
