Roy Lichtenstein

Late this afternoon I finally made it to the Hayward Gallery to see the Roy Lichtenstein exhibition. It should come as no surprise that I enjoy his work: the bold strokes and playful imagery soundly rooted in contemporary culture.

But walking round the gallery I was stunned time and time again.

It runs to 16 May and I strongly recommend you see it.

Don't do early starts

I don't like early starts, so I discarded the option of catching the 0644 from Woodbridge this morning, instead driving into Ipswich for the 0742. Well, that was the plan. But a queue at the ticket office meant I hit the platform just as the train doors locked and now have to wait twenty minutes on a cold bench for the slow service.
