Since last time

I visited the Hackney City Farm, and saw the largest pigs I have ever seen, they were sleeping nuzzled next to each other, and chickens were wandering around: th take a step forward, scratch through the hay, take a step back and push there faces into the grass looking for food and this is how they wander about. There were two roosters that wouldn't stop crowing.

I spent another afternoon at the mediatech, I watched most of Rebecca.

Saw the Lion King! the sets were incredible, the plants and things were not props, but people in costumes with moving parts, so the whole scene was moving and changing. and the animal costumes were like extensions of the actors bodies/puppets so both their bodies and their costumes moved in very interesting ways. they were all very flexible.

I unsuccessfully haggled for a necklace on Brick Lane, but it was only 2 pounds, so I wasn't that let down.

Richard Kindersley, a stone carver gave us a talk, and we all got to try stone carving so that was fun.

We took a train out to Baseline magazine, where we received a very long detailed talk on the history of the magazine and how it is produced. The magazine seems like their life, their whole environment is built around it.

then onto Paris...
