I had a very weird day today! Obama was out there painting walls blue and I went to Newcastle to see two shows at UNN in their university galleries then to the Baltic to see the Fluxus exhibition and Yoko Ono. So far so good.
Then to Brighton Grove to an Asian grocers where we bought spices, herbs, mango pulp, coconut cream, green chili paste, baby aubergines, lovely bulbous garlic and ginger, okra/ladies fingers?!, lentils for dal etc. After that we had a delicious meal at Komal, where we had not been before, which is just around the corner.
Then off to the BBC where Neil did an interview for an Irish Arts radio program on Elizabeth Alexander the Inaugural poet, in the meanwhile I sat reading the New York Review of Books in the lobby getting distracted by Eastenders on and off.
What made the day weird was going to Tesco at the end of it to do a major shop! I cannot deal with that place, I detest large supermercados...yet we were in there for what seemed like hours getting the basics. Like kitkats...
Anyhow driving back home in the dark the sky was very dark and the stars crystal clear. Just as we got to Otterburn however it started snowing and we drove on virgin roads with what looked like stardust on them. Beautiful!
Cannot wait for tomorrow-let the sun shine!
