Tate a Tate

Here today for a saunter round the art gallery and Maritime museum. We were all slightly surprised to find that one whole wall in one gallery was moving at a speed of 10cm per minute which while not exactly as scary as the Star Wars trash compactor, is slightly disconcerting. I'm certain it is art though. We also went down and made collages from very posh art and design magazines with scary phrases like "according to Marxist theory" in them. Result is below.

And then on to the Maritime Museum for spin around what can only be called The Luxury Liner Disaster Area - Titanic, Lusitania etc. There was also a very good bit of monologue from someone playing the Titanic Helmsman Robert Hichens, the man who Molly Brown threatened to throw overboard.

Of course all this didn't stop daughter's continuous announcements of the time left until the start of Doctor Who. And so was it worth the wait? Sure was! It kept a six-year old rapt for an hour and still has him quiet in front of DWC. And now the Weeping Angels are dancing. We are happy here and still two days of the weekend to go. We do have to go (shhh - don't tell Dawkins) to Church tomorrow morning but after that our time is ours. More collage maybe - more Infra-red and all the other manic inventions that float around my head. Somewhere we have The Quatermass Experiment on the PVR as well.
