Love, Sweat and Tiers.: Short but oh so sweet.

Following our recent exciting trip to Edinburgh, this week has been a relatively relaxing and quiet period. The working week passed again without incident, bringing the weekend to us just in time.

Saturday morning we made the moderate walk from home to Borough Markets to collect our weekly produce. Following this we made our way home to drop off the food and have some lunch before heading to Saville Row. Hailing from Adelaide, I found it quite amazing to see shops such as Donna Karen and Vivienne Westwood along side the multitude of incredible tailors that line the streets.

On Sunday morning we made another trek across the river to the Hayward Gallery to see the Anthony Gormley exhibition, Blind Light. Gormley's work deals with the space of people, both the space they take up, and the space around them, including that most variable, personal space. One of the major pieces, called Blind Light, is a large glass room filled with water vapour, much like a cloud. As you enter the space, you lose almost all sense of orientation, your sight is limited to just a few centimeters in front of you (which ends up with many near misses as the other occupants suddenly appear in the mist). Along with many other pieces which explore similar ideas, the most public is the 30 full body casts of Gormley which are arranged on top of buildings throughout London, all facing the gallery.

Three of the Gormley Casts Can Be Seen on Nearby Buildings from the Gallery Terrace.

Sunday afternoon saw us shorten the interval between our monthly afternoon teas in order to share one with one of Sally's workmates who is soon to move to Shanghai. This week we visited Yauatcha, started and run by Alan Yau who also owns Hakkasan, which we visited just a couple of weeks ago. Yauatcha has an incredible interior and a very different afternoon tea, the oriental afternoon tea which includes dim sum rather than sandwiches. The combination of the beautiful interior and delicious food made it a great afternoon.
