My little duplex apartment, built in the '20s, has a little door in the kitchen wall that opens up to the outside. It used to be used by the milkman (back when they used to exist) -- the milkman would come by and put the milk in through the door, then you'd open up the door from your side and take the milk in. It had been painted over, but I stripped the paint recently and opened it up for my cats to use as a cat door.
Simon wishes he could go through it, too.
Simon Pearce pottery is classic and elegant and such a pleasure to sip coffee out of overlooking the water.
Vanessa took Simon and I on an amazing pilgrimage today to see Hiromi's installation in Redfern. It was so lovely, I had an awful week. It was so art that was full of love and meaning, and inspired us all to push on. Vanessa sent me an email yesterday telling me of her discovery of this window and of Hiromi, and it was so mysterious and wonderful. It's nice when life is like a Banana Yoshimoto novel.

We took the train into London from Windsor to Paddington and walked the short distance to the Marlborough Gate of Kensington Gardens. There we found the Italian Pump Room Gardens, where the yellow water irises were at their peak, and headed southwest past the Peter Pan Statue, Henry Moore's "The Arch" sculpture, Simon Gudgeon's elegant bronze "Isis" and the Lady Diana Fountain. We stopped at the recently re-gilded Albert Memorial, then followed the Flower Walk out of the park and down Kensington High Street to Holland Park, where we discovered the Dutch Garden with its yellow tulips, blue and yellow irises, and the colorful 1995 mural by Mao Wen Biao, which recreates the Holland House garden parties of the 1870's.
After resting in the park's tranquil Kyoto Japanese Garden, we had a light lunch in the excellent Parabola Restaurant inside the new Design Museum. We then immersed ourselves for a couple of hours in the museum's permanent collection - "Designer, Maker, User". After scones and tea at Caffe Concerto Kensington, we took the Underground to St. James Park with its beautiful late afternoon light, went around the lake, over the Blue Bridge, through Westminster, and along the Thames to the Tate Britain where we had reserved evening tickets for the amazing retrospective of David Hockney's 60 year career (no photographs were allowed inside the special exhibition.)
As Samuel Johnson famously said, "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."

In his two-volume travel chronicle, Italian painter Simone Pomardi (1760-1830) describes his journey to Greece together with British archaeologist E. Dodwell in 1805-1806. The two probably met in Rome in 1804. Dodwell engaged him as artist for his tour of Greece, and Pomardi made 600 drawings and composed the account of the journey. Dodwell often speaks of his companion’s ability as a draftsman and praises him as an observant, diligent and talented artist.
Unlike his employer, Pomardi was not an erudite scholar. Even so, he wrote a clear and concise account that focuses on the current situation of each region, touching on subjects such as the customs of the Muslims, the quality of the lodgings, and so on, while making references to history and mythology, but without citing sources. It is certain that Pomardi made many of his drawings following Dodwell’s indications. Indeed, many of their drawings look identical, even in their viewpoint. In the end, however, Pomardi’s works are distinguished by their clarity, consistency and a special painterly quality.
In his chronicle, Pomardi describes how he and Dodwell travelled from Rome to Sicily and then to Zacynthos, Missolonghi, Patras, Naupactus, Galaxidi, Amphissa, Delphi and Boeotia. He also relates their stay in Athens. Pomardi continued on to Phthiotis, Thessaly, Magnesia, Phocis, Boeotia, Euboea, the Argolid and Corinth. He was the first to draw landscapes of these regions (Pleuron, Thisbe, Lamia, etc.). At the end of his journey Pomardi fell ill and was obliged to sail to Zacynthos, eventually returning to Italy by way of Ithaca, Leucas and Corfu.

İtalyan ressam Simone Pomardi (1760-1830), iki ciltli seyahat tarihçesinde, 1805-1806'da İngiliz arkeolog Edward Dodwell ile birlikte Yunanistan'a yaptığı yolculuğu anlatıyor. İkisi muhtemelen 1804'te Roma'da buluştu. Dodwell, Yunanistan turu için sanatçı olarak nişanlandı ve Pomardi, 600 resim yaptı ve yolculuğun hesabını besteledi. Dodwell sıklıkla arkadaşının ressam olarak yeteneklerinden bahseder ve onu gözlemci, çalışkan ve yetenekli bir sanatçı olarak övüyor.
İşvereninin aksine, Pomardi bilgili bir bilgin değildi. Yine de, tarih ve mitolojiye atıfta bulunurken, Müslümanların gelenekleri, lojmanların kalitesi ve benzeri konulara değinen, her bölgenin mevcut durumuna odaklanan net ve özlü bir hesap yazdı, ancak kaynak göstermeden. Pomardi'nin Dodwell'in endikasyonlarından sonra çizimlerinin çoğunu yaptığı kesin. Aslında, çizimlerinin birçoğu kendi bakış açılarında bile aynı görünüyor. Bununla birlikte, sonunda, Pomardi'nin çalışmaları netlik, tutarlılık ve özel bir ressam kalitesi ile ayırt edilir.
Tarihçesinde Pomardi, kendisi ve Dodwell'in Roma'dan Sicilya'ya ve sonra Zacynthos, Missolonghi, Patras, Naupactus, Galaxidi, Amphissa, Delphi ve Boeotia'ya nasıl seyahat ettiklerini anlatıyor. Ayrıca Atina'daki kalışlarıyla da ilgilidir. Pomardi Phthiotis, Tesalya, Magnesia, Phocis, Boeotia, Euboea, Argolid ve Corinth'e devam etti. Bu bölgelerin (Pleuron, Thisbe, Lamia, vs.) manzaralarını ilk çizen oydu. Yolculuğunun sonunda Pomardi hastalandı ve Zacynthos'a yelken açmak zorunda kaldı ve sonunda Ithaca, Leucas ve Corfu yoluyla İtalya'ya döndü.
