Fourth plinth

The fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square sported a new exhibit today. It's called 'Powerless Structures, Fig 101':

In this portrayal of a boy astride his rocking horse, a child has been elevated to the status of a historical hero, though there is not yet a history to commemorate - only a future to hope for. Elmgreen & Dragset's work proposes a paraphrase of a traditional war monument beyond a dualistic worldview predicated on either victory or defeat. Instead of acknowledging the heroism of the powerful, Powerless Structures, Fig. 101 celebrates the heroism of growing up. It is a visual statement celebrating expectation and change rather than glorifying the past.

At work, we celebrated the end of the challenging project and felt the weight lift off our shoulders. The book team has broken up to work on other projects now, helping out the other editors who are all mid-book. We also have the bookfair madness building up, but that can be quite fun.

It was a gorgeous day today. It reached 18 degrees in the back garden! No wonder the snails are now slip slithering about and the daffodils are blooming. I think spring (if not summer!) is here at last.

I spotted these tiny wee chameleons on National Geographic. I know it's bad, but I want one (but I'd be afraid to lose/squash it).
