Today my wife and I go to Bristol to see an exhibition of the work of Iranian artist Alinah Azadeh and Indo-Chinese ceramicist Rosa Nguyen. It is called "The Shape of things", and the contrast between the intimately wrapped "gifts" of Alinah Azadeh and the haunting, etiolated creations of Rosa Nguyen is both fascinating and intriguing.
Our friend Julia curated the exhibition, and it is good to have an opportunity to touch base with her again. We feel especially privileged to be shown round by her.
Later we enjoy a meal of Bouillabaise with her and her squeeze in a pleasant cafe down on the waterfront. After lunch we stride back up the steep hill to where our car is parked, perched at the top of the city near the observatory. It is a good cardio workout, by my standards at least, and takes us through the heart of Clifton, a place I always think I should be living in every time I see it. But it is only 2.5 degrees, just a wee bit too cold to enjoy it properly.
