some more images for Dublin last Saturday for all the many fans world wide, our DVDs will be ready by the weekend, 2 volumes.Well lots happeing, the proff for the book arrived and has been checked and returned to publisher for corrections, the pro readrer found hundreds of changes, mainly punctuation, few to / too sort of stuff! So with luck it looks like being on time, they are getting the rest of the cover ready for printing.
While killing time waiting for Chinese visa in Manchester yesterday I went to the Manchester museum by the university, first time in over 30 years, what a let down, the Londow Man display beggars belief, all chipboard , children's toys and acres of nothing except ramblings of a present day Druid priestess on social secrity. The old hall with stuffed animals has next to it a display on racism, lest we think anyone in particular decends from apes eh. The cafe does do a superb Danish pastry and coffee, a redeeming feature. What do tanks of live frogs and snakes contribute, you can see millions at Chester Zoo in better context.
Well afterwards I went into the Whitworth gallery thinking a few splendid paintings would restore my mood, not at all, more rubbish exhibits, except for a few Victorian water colours there was a display of little kids painting, some textiles, some black images and not a lot to look at except some wigwams on the lawn, what they represented I don't know. Even the Tate modern is better than this.
Got Scottish DVD ready now, doing cover later, then getting ready for Herne Bay on Sunday, super running day, see you there?
