Picnic at Kenwood House

One-Day Heatwave in Britain plus the ' David Bowie Is ' exhibition

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year in England and apparently the hottest in a decade!
Kids at Somerset House took advantage of the water installation in the square to cool off!
Today the weather is much cooler and in the mid 20s rather than 32 degrees plus.


Today went to the David Bowie exhibition at the V and A museum. Absolutely fantastic!

Film Night at the Alambra cinema in La Marsa

Went to the 'night at the cinema ' event at the Alambra cinema in La Marsa.
First of all the event didn't start at the planned time of 10pm but eventually began at nearly 10.40.
At the beginning,there were 5 short films, fairly entertaining and easy to understand with subtitles in French and one of them in English.After these films there was some music, actually a concert composed of a rap singer,a couple of folk-pop groups and then a 25 minutes break before, supposedly the main feature films but in fact a couple more short films. However,as it was approaching nearly 4am I didn't stay until the end and in any case I'd already seen the last film 'Baba Noel ' at the European film festival.
