Friday night started the weekend well with dinner of duck in a cherry or orange sauce with broad beans and roast veg. Watched and fell asleep through most of 'Gone Baby Gone', from our lovefilm subscription.
Saturday morning we had bagels, cream cheese and salmon for breakfast. Ruby had her very first hard boiled egg, listened to Miles Davis and Stan Getz albums on Spotify. Got the tube to Lancaster Gate and walked through Kensington Gardens to the Serpentine Gallery to see Jeff Koons' 'Popeye Series', by far the best art Ruby has seen so far and a great show. We also took a look at the new temporary pavilion, which is alright and not as good as Frank Gehry's last year.
We hopped on the 52 bus back to Kensal Rise and went to the College Road street festival. Had a long lunch at The Island with Kate and Dan and several pints of Moon Bar.
Back home, after playtime, bathtime and a pasta supper, we lolled in front of the TV and watched (fell asleep through) Vincent Price in 'The Abominable Dr Phibes' which I'd had to buy after reading Matt's latest entry on The Wood Rules OK. Ibolya gave me a late wedding anniversary treat followed by a very early night . Sunday morning we listened to David Bowie's 'Young Americans' while eating breakfast. It was so good to hear that great album again and enjoyed it so much I made Ruby listen to 'Stationtostation' and 'Low' during morning playtime. Late morning we went to Phil's and after that to The Paradise with Stephen, Christophe, Chloe and Mavi and had a tremendous pork belly roast lunch.
When we got back we did some hand painting with Ruby, Ibolya made gridled chicken with peas and vine tomatoes for supper and rescued a chick from Putty's jaws. Still feeling in a Bowie mood we tried to watch 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' but gave up after 20 minutes, gave in to tiredness and another very early night.
