Didn't sleep much if at all on the flight over (I don't think this was simply because of the piercingly chilly draught).
Made it home in relatively reasonable time - huge but fastmoving taxi queue in an entirely new place at Paddington Station.
Unpacked and transferred Stuff from my travel handbag to my quotidien handbag.
Did two loads of washing.
Made bread (the part-loaf in the breadbin was doing its Alexander Fleming tribute).
Mumbled at someone ringing up about the gas servicing deal.
Am about to have an aromatherapy bath and go to bed.

 The 100 things blogging challenge. Mind the Map: Inspiring art, design and cartography at the London Transport Museum:

Seriously, this kind of viewpoint exasperates me, and even more so when it's a woman saying it:
I question the existence of a "male-dominated corporate elite", yet should it be real, I don't believe top-down EU quotas are the best way to counter it....
[A] generation of women may well end up on boards as window-dressing rather than on the basis of merit. Oh, come on - all the men on all boards have something to bring to the table apart from being a bloke? Give me leave to doubt. Wails and moans over tokenism tend not to factor in the tokenism that previously operated in favour of Dead White Males. There is No Damned Merit about it.
Plus, I think history shows that when you actually put women in certain positions (e.g. as queen regnant, HAI, EIR), or offer them specific opportunities, as in wartime, given the chance and expected to get on with it, they do pretty well.

I put together my first group show. It's just now going up on the walls for the opening this Friday. Each artist did 2-5 works for this show so this post won't give you the whole experience by a long shot, but it's a taste anyway. It will hang for two more months, along with Jennifer Romita's show, so maybe I will get the whole thing online at some point. (The press page link is here if anyone wants to write/blog/share about it.) Enjoy. ----------------------- garner narrative continues with Jennifer Romita's digital triptych, "Three Ages of Contemporary Female Fertility" (through July 28).  Jennifer Romita garner narrative opens a companion group show, now what were you expecting, with works by six artists on the themes of gestation, generativity, and the creative human condition.
