Interesting things aquired over the last few days-
1: A melodica, complete with leather case, spare mouth piece and German sheet music;
and 2: A potential friend/sugar daddy (don't worry David, I'm not going to have sex with him!), who also happens to be a genuine, bona-fide Hell's Angel. Cool.


Also, last week I went the see the 'Anthology of  hats' exhibition at the V&A. It was wonderful; I saw hats made out of lolli-pop sticks, out of intricately cut paper, a hat called the "kiss of death", which was a black bonnet with long feathers stretching out in front of it, and a police helmet made of straw. In keeping with the tone of the exhibition, I had decided to go weraing my blue teacup hat. At one point, I saw a mother fruitlessly try to engage her young son's interest in the displays, while he kept pointing over at me and saying, "Mummy, mummy, look! That lady has a TEACUP on her head!" Eventually, the mother approached me and apologetically asked me to show her son that there was no actual tea in my hat. I did, at which point the boy's face fell, and sadi to his mother in a disappointed voice, "...Oh. Can we go home now?"

I was vaguely disappointed by "Hats".

But then, I suppose I'm not a fan of hats to start with...

2 questions, John: If you don't like hats, why go see an exhibition devoted to them? And secondly, how can ANYONE not love hats? Surely even grumpy goffs can't be advesrse to some stylish black lacy millinery?

Why go see it? Why, for the simple fact it was something I was intrigued by and could get into for free. Secondly, how I could not love it is quite simple- not long enough and no photography allowed. Fair response or no?
