'A daft idea is not necessarily art'. That was one of the messages from last night's Conceptual Art program. I tend to agree with that but there seems to be many that disagree with my view, and there are countless examples to back that up. Tracey Emin's bed; Damian Hirst's cow in formaldehyde to name but two. Sometimes, it seems that the dafter the idea, the more 'artful' it is as it gets hyped up.
I have created hundreds of works of art, just before they went to the rubbish dump.
Some days, I need the weather forecast to be spot on - do I bike in to work on Tuesday? .. or leave it until Thursday? Such was my quandary last night, knowing that I have my mother to visit on Wednesday (it's her birthday) whilst at the same time keen to get some biking miles in for national cycle month. Usually, the Met Office provides a very good service; accurate within reason and updated on a regular basis. However, although the 'Light rain at 07:00' was true, the shower at 06:00 followed by constant drizzly rain until I arrived at work at 7:40 was not mentioned.
Suffice to say I was wet when I arrived, leaving soggy footprints between my desk and the shower.
