Mosaic Rooms - Hrair Sarkissian
2 films at the same time.
I could only see one at a time as they were facing each other across a large room. I switched from one to the other assessing their relationship to each other.
The sound track from one was the only noise in the room.
The progress of smashing and demolition in one film was out of synch with the collapsing building in the other film.
Just because someone has made such a film doesn't mean I have to spend any time there. It is a free choice. That's what I prefer above all.
Upstairs there were large photographs which seemed extra still. All photos are still, but these were more so than usual. The dark green trees gave me that impression.
The book shop is enticing. Since there was no charge and I was staying for free at my parents' house I had some £ to spend. Call it an investment in the cultural life of several nations.

Easter lunch - Mother's Milk Books Writing Prize Anthology 2013
Easter
My brother and I both fooled around with our phones. Now I can't double click to get hold of them. My mother had an idea to seat us facing each other, 2 versus 2, instead of having my father at one end of the table. The dynamics were more friendly, cosy even, this way. We had flowers at each end of the table.

To prevent interrupting we waved a paper knife around, the talking stick. We didn't actually use it, but we were better than usual at taking turns to talk.
I made some mini films before lunch. Apparently there is a whole world of them out there on Vine. I thought I had thought of it myself. One of my mother's hands chopping potatoes, another of my brother's hands.
Films...
While we had champagne upstairs I took photos of the mantle piece and bookshelves. It's an easy way to take all those items back home with me. One is of my brother aged 2, looking thoughtful on a park bench, and another of me aged 3, little feet sticking out and happily looking at a big French children's picture book.

Mother's Milk Anthology - 'Parenting' - edited by Teika Bellamy
While H was having his 2nd driving lesson I stumbled on the Mother's Milk collection. I read most of it, flicking around the booklet, sitting on the floor. My poetry books are so hard to separate out into sections, so I read one instead. I am sure I recognise some poets' names from 52 in there.
