Something I have always wanted to be able to do, so as good a time as any to start. A good introduction that has whet my appetite for more
Not too much to say about this week really and sadly no pictures to share again, but learning to play the piano is one of those things that I always wished I had done when I was younger. This week I took the first step towards this by taking a piano lesson.
Foiled twice in one week trying to go and see it, but an interesting concept that was worth it in the end for the classic picture opportunity alone
Since first hearing about the concept of the latest installation in The Curve space at the Barbican I knew it was something I would like to check out. However it seems that many other people also felt the same, especially in it's final week with queues reaching 12 hours or more to see the Rain Room.
Classic comedy well worth a listen, even more worth going to see live.
This week I had booked in the calendar for a while having successfully applied for free tickets to the live recording of BBC radio's Newsjack.
So much potential, sadly dampened by the poor weather. However still a great atmosphere despite the rain.
Once again I found myself heading out early on a Sunday morning, this week to catch the Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown to say goodbye to the year of the dragon and hello to the year of the snake.
Lots of skill to appreciate in the final sculptures but something best to do if you are in the area.
Week 2 and I already needed something a little more chilled out in order to recover from week 1, so it was just as well the London Ice Sculpting Festival was on this weekend.
Additionally, as a bit of a mid week bonus I also tried out a tabletop game, originating from Brazil, called Button Football.
