Lucky Rat

Walking home from central London last weekend, weaving through China Town and suddenly very tempted by a 'lucky rat'. Feel like we could all do with as much luck as we can get at the moment

Madonna

Madonna and the pickles

I really enjoyed this set up in Paris last week - this was in an Italian restaurant opposite where I was working and where I enjoyed a much anticipated glass of wine

Wembley

Colour and sparkle galore last month - a birthday trip to Wembley with Mum

Mid-Week

I was early for my mid-week shift at work today, so walked along to the National Gallery to burn time. These were my picks of the flying visit:

 Ulyssess deriding the Polyphemus - Homer's Odyssey, Turner, 1829

The Immaculate Conception, Diego Velazquez, 1618-19

Water Lilies, Setting Sun, Claude-Oscar Monet, c.1907

Maybe a slightly random choice of paintings, certainly chronologically, but I enjoyed them nonetheless.

Also of note:

Mini ballet shoes at a Dance shop on Cecil Court

And

Poor George Peabody, sporting a cone hat which he definitely didn't put there himself. (The guy in the yellow jumper was furious).
