May. 24th, 2016 05:47 pmToday I went to the NGV and they were offering a free tour, so I went on a little art tour. The tour focused on the art of Subodh Gupta, whom I had never heard of, but since he uses everyday Indian items in his art, it was very familiar. We were looking for art like this while we lived in India, and did not really find it. I was happy I could recognize the themes and the objects.
On Monday I saw a Japanese film called An and a british film, Eddie the Eagle, and tomorrow night the Herzog/Kinski series starts at Cinematheque.
Still walking, doing water aerobics and some yoga. The garden is a bit quiet, though some flowers are now blooming - the camelia, some irises in the front of the house and the jade plant has flowers. I am just going to go w the theory we can stay here as long as we want until I hear differently.
Next month my nephew is going to come stay w me for a week! We'll be doing all the touristy things in Sydney and Melbourne.
I finished Fever at Dawn (Gardos) and started The Bricks that Built the Houses by Kate Tempest - she will be talking in Melbourne on Thurs night, so we will go hear her. I have more books from the library than I can possibly finish.
I saw both plays that are close to our house - one was about Gaza, and the other was about Ireland.
It is getting cold and the sun sets about 5:15 pm. In the evenings it can be very easy to just stay home if you don't make other plans. I made oatmeal raisin cookies last weekend and was very happy w how they turned out. It was a recipe w melted butter so no mixer was required - currently we only have a stick blender, so I have been looking for recipes that don't involve mixers. I watched a couple episodes of Follow The Money - a Danish police show. It is good. Also watched an episode of Horace and Pete by Louis CK and liked it.
