So the art has literally consumed itself. On Wednesday a warehouse fire destroyed more than 100 artworks from Charles Saatchi’s famous collection. Works such as Tracy Emin’s tent and works by Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas were also destroyed. Of course any piece of creative work destroyed is always distressing, yet when work of this [...]

Back
I’m back, and wish I could have updated this from the desert (there were some Internet Cafes nearby) but forgot to take my bleeding password. So couldn’t post.
Holiday
Bugger this i’m off to Marrakesh, Morocco. Then into the Sahara, wonder if I can blog from there?

5k
I have rather stupidly agreed to run 5km tonight for ‘Race for Life’ Although looking at the website: ‘Join us in one of our 150 women-only 5km races across the country and help us cure cancer faster’ Oh dear. Firstly, I’m a bloke, secondly I am a very unfit bloke. No worries, 80′s steel will [...]
