Another Day Out



I had another day out yesterday. Whilst Mister E drove off to his 3 day week job, I hopped on a train to Leeds to browse a few shopping streets in Yorkshire's big city but more importantly, from the perspective of someone who hates shopping, to meet my sister for lunch and then view an exhibition of work by Shezad Dawood at the City Art Gallery.

Wandering around our city centres is always a great experience even when you do detest shopping, because when you look up there are invariably wonderful buildings and Leeds' Victorian Quarter fulfils all expectations in this respect with its old covered arcades the forerunners to modern malls but so much more interesting.

The exhibition too was intriguing especially the main feature which was a video film about humanity entitled Towards the Possible Film. Beautiful and cruel; mystifying and straightforward; I am still puzzling it out.

A little like the tasty and artistically presented salad we ate at lunchtime, where we had to guess the ingredients!
