I had to go into London yesterday, and took the opportunity to meet up with my friend Judith Clute. As it happened, she had an invitation that evening to attend the opening of an exhibition at the Bankside Gallery, and she kindly took me along. The artist in question was Morgan Doyle, whose work you can view here. It’s not the sort of stuff that gets you onto the Hugo ballot, but like much modern art it looks so much better when you see it full size from a distance. Judith had contributed a nice appreciation of her friend’s work which was displayed by the entrance.

As we needed to get dinner we had a look around at South Bank restaurants. We ended up at Tas Pide, which is an Anatolian restaurant. It was definitely different, and the food was good. It is right next to the Globe, if you happen to be down that way.
