London, mobile phones and Gilbert and George

Went to London with Heather while she went on a course and couldn't believe the number of mobile phone there were.. All these smart efforts like Apple and people sitting with friends at cafe tables tapping away on phone and not talking to one another. Or walking in the street and not looking where they are going. Big difference to Pembrokeshire. here (Solva) we dont have a signal most of the time so I guess we are behind everyone else. Fell out big time with two guys in the cinema who key tapping away all the time - either they want to see the film or they dont and if they dont they should buzz off outside and let everyone else enjoy themselves uniterrupted.

Went to Tate Modern - great to get myself up to date on what is happening there and also had lunch with Gilbert and George. They are so lovely and always the same - very kind to me and I like to make sure they are well for they are part of my excitement about art in the UK.

Glad to get back home in the end. Planning Salsa course here in the Chapel starting early April. Heather says I'm crazy - too many things happening at once.
