82 - Anthony McCall at the Tate Modern

Lush view from the window this morning.

Having a rest in one of the cafes at the National Theatre on the Southbank in London. A roll of a double decker die dropped me at Borough Market (famous for street food and specialist food) at lunchtime and I headed to the Tate Modern from there. Can’t believe how expensive street food has got and how fanatical. There must have been 80 people in the queue for ‘Bomba lobster tail paella’. 80 salivating foodies per security guard. £20 per cardboard cover.

Here’s a pan of the sauce - glimpse of tails on the left.

I went to see the Anthony McCall show, which was dazzling but mostly in the literal sense. They promised the mist was non-toxic. I liked it and found it interesting but I wasn’t hugely excited. Me and the other visitors in our day clothes spoiled it. If it was my show I would have issued druid costumes at the entrance.
