Today I met up with my old school friend Jenny.
We went to Apsley House, The Duke of Wellington's London house, and the nearby Wellington Arch. Then we got on a bus to Trafalgar Square where we went to the National Gallery.
This is Jenny outside the Gallery.
There was an exhibition of how modern methods helped them find fakes, forgeries and mistakes, and make discoveries. It was really interesting.
Some of you may remember last year my post of some of the 1-hour displays people gave on the empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, the idea of the sculptor Anthony Gormley. The current exhibition is this ship-in-a-bottle:
The pigeons around the base give an idea of the scale.
Tomorrow - the zoo!
That's wicked cool!!! Of course here in the states it'd be smashed to bits and the ship stolen on the first night.
