Just like the match between Mahut & Isner... UNBELIEVABLE ! 5 sets, 59-59 in the last one ! And I did not even see one point... Thanks Alys ! Yes, I have a friend over for 3 days so yesterday was a day off work, and a day enjoying being a tourist in London...
We visited exhibitions that I've wanted to go to for quite a while.
The first one was Skin at the Wellcome Collection and it was quite interesting. It was not an art exhibition, more of a medical one. My friend told me about the need of the curators to provoke a reaction of disgust from the visitor, that kind of appeal to sensational that is really British. And it is true indeed that they play with that (cf. video about suturing or too thorough description of disgusting skin diseases - yeurk). But I personnally enjoyed it. I always loved these kind of disgusting things, I managed to go to the Our Body exhibition in Paris. It was a show that exhibited human corpses in different positions and at different stages of dissection. It was really interesting, but kind of gross too and it was forbidden after a while because things weren't clear about who the dead people really were...
Anyway I quite enjoyed this first exhibition even it wasn't life altering... We then headed to Sloane Square to visit the Saatchi Gallery. Shame on me, I always tell people that Contemporary Art is my thing & so on and I've been here 3 months and did not even go to the White Cube Gallery or the Saatchi Gallery. Well at least now the first one is done. And IT. WAS. CRAP. Except for one work of art. And there are 13 rooms so there was a lot of CRAP ! I remind you nonetheless that art is subjective, and that what I might hate someone might fall in love with... someone like Saatchi... But that last part was definitely worth it.
And you see where this post is going... I walked and walked all day yesterday, and on the evening I had a preview planned, and wine etc and... I only woke up at 8:09 am this morning... :( So no running for me today, but it is not that bad because I have been SO exhausted lately ! I spend my days yawning...
So I'll see you tomorrow, because I may have taken a day off running today, but I won't tomorrow. And 30 minutes it will be !
