It’s been a fine but cold day. We began with blue sky and sunshine and continued that way until well into the afternoon.
Our son is on his way here from London, being collected by his sister in Manchester. Then we’ll get most of the family together for dinner. There’s a family event going on in Southport tomorrow and so he is making a flying visit.
Here’s a bit of travel nonsense. There has been a train from Manchester to London for ages apparently, leaving Piccadilly at 7.00 am. It’s been popular with commuters apparently. Now a decision has been taken to scrap it, sort of! The 7.00 am train disappears off the timetable but workers who staff the train need to be in London to man a train making the journey in the opposite direction. So the train will continue to run but without any passengers! I wonder at what point someone will notice the contradiction!
Here’s some more nonsense, art-related his time. In 1985 married artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude wrapped the Pont Neuf in Paris in fabric.
Now an artist apparently know as JR plans to emulate them.
In 2021 Christo and Jeanne-Claude created another art installation, L’Arc de Triomphe Empaqueté.
Fancy ideas but is it really art? And can the people who crochet all sorts of things to go on the top of post boxes claim to be creating art?
And here is a link to an article about artists who have “recreated” trash in such a way that cleaners at the art galleries threw them away.
Life goes on. Stay safe and well, everyone!
