A flock of parrots swept past my car today as a drove past the perimeter road at Heathrow airport.  It was an amazing thing.  We are experiencing an ‘Indian Summer’ here in London (basically unseasonably warm weather) so to match the ‘tropical’ (!) climate about a hundred odd electric green parrots flapped alongside and then over my car.  I googled them and apparently, according to the Beeb they are escapees from being shipped through the airport.  They brought a big smile to my face (I also managed to stay on the road which was a result).

The economic prayer is hanging in my lounge!  I posted a while back about the amazing art that I saw at a gallery / restaurant in Notting Hill.  Well the lovely Nadia and Gareth bought it for us as a wedding present.  We love it.  Here it is in the gallery (rather than on our lounge wall where is now hangs :+))

A good day…  Today was a great day.  I met up with my favourite clients today (they know who they are) near Heathrow and we had a brilliant day.  We are doing a repositioning / rebranding programme for them.  Anyway it all went well – I left feeling hugely inspired having spent the day with people who are so smart (and great company).

The dinner was on Portobello Road (home of the world famous street market) in Notting Hill at a great restaurant called The Muse at 269.  They always have an artist in residence (who quite literally lives above the the restaurant while they work).  The works of the artist Cecilia Magdelena Sandrini were exhibited and I just love her work…

This one was called ‘Routine’…

This is ‘Smile’…

This one is the ‘Economic Prayer’…

The prayer reads:

Dear Lord, please in this time of financial woe, do not worry about those who have no property, job or savings, we shall carry on the same as before.  Look after those such as Kate Moss and Elton John, whose homes have lost over a million in value.  They have truly known loss in the economic downturn.  Amen.

Brilliant work and what an ace name.  Beats Neil Crump.
