Shove (Shrove) Tuesday! 🥞🍋

 

Lee Miller @ Tate Britain…

Last Saturday afternoon Stuart and I went to see the Lee Miller exhibition at Tate Britain in London’s glitzy Pimlico.

Surrealism with teeth, @leemillerarchives and old partner in crime @manray_official turn fashion and fantasy into something feral. Then the Second World War hits and we are staring at shocking concentration camp photos and that notorious snap in Hitler’s bath. Art, atrocity, attitude. @tatebritain gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Arsenal 4 - 0 Wigan…

Lovely to go to the game last night with my sister Joanna.  Her first match. As it turns out, she’s a bit of a lucky charm.  

Arsenal treated the FA Cup like a speed awareness course. Four goals in half an hour and Wigan were still looking for their parking pass. 😁

Eberechi Eze split the pitch open for Noni Madueke, then did it again for Gabriel Martinelli. Jack Hunt added a souvenir own goal after Bukayo Saka and Madueke tied him in knots. Gabriel Jesus completed the opening act with a cheeky chip.

Saka turned up late, played in midfield and ran the show anyway. Kepa Arrizabalaga saved the only serious Wigan effort, largely out of politeness. 

Fifth round reached. First time since 2020. Funny how silverware memories return. 

Onwards and upwards, my friends.

The Summit @ Alexandra Palace…

This morning, Stuart and I were one of the first people to climb The Summit - Alexandra Palace’s spectacular new rooftop adventure.

They say “it’s the highest roof walk in UK offering visitors an unforgettable way to experience London.”   And indeed it does.

What makes it the highest though? Well, that 130 metres above sea level height is largely because… it’s on a hill! 😂

Great fun though.
