It felt nice to have a whole day before the exhibition, so went to Spitalfield. The famous Spitalfield market is only open on Sundays, but we found another one on Brick Lane with handcrafters and vintage clothes. Very inspiring, but the prices are too low. All that work and then almost nothing in return. Handcrafter need to form some sort of “front” to raise the prices on “real” things.

Brick Lane is still an amazing mixture of inspiring boutiques and worn down houses. Of course we went to Junky Styling, where I got some Christmas presents (I won’t show them now, you have to wait until after Christmas…). The guys in there are just as nice and chatty as ever. They told me that they are six persons resewing suits (jackets and trousers in quality wool) into other garments. We saw some lovely black evening dresses, that used to be jackets. You just have to visit them! |
| Then we went south and of course we had to visit the Borough Market with all it’s food. Here I could do some interesting research about what people have on their heads. Look at “What’s on people’s heads”. |

We decided to check out the venue for the Sunday exhibition. We stumbled into a ceramics exhibition at the Morley College Gallery with some really nice pottery and did a quick check of the Morley College building. |
In the evening we went to Ping Pong, a Chinese food chain. And now I’m really sure! I AM allergic to Chinese food. I didn’t get any sleep at all. NB! I did not eat any bad food, the restaurant was very fresh and nice, the food tasted lovely and no one else in the company got ill. But I have a stomach that can’t take Glutamate (something completely unnecessary additive that some cooks put in food). That was disaster number 4 I guess…
