Amuse me!

Even when you are personally discontent, the things in the world can't stop amusing you, can they?

So, the 2 things that amused me today were:

Eric Carle Museum:

The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art inspires families, art aficionados, and book lovers with rotating galleries of picture book art from around the world.

 A museum for picture books, how cool is that?

The Bloomsbury Festival:

A free celebration that draws 50,000 people to London’s most inspiring cultural quarter.

With a theme of vitality, this year’s festival is a journey of discovery for mind, body and imagination.


Over six days 200 free events will showcase an eclectic programme of pioneering art, music, dance and literature, while also giving a voice and new skills to diverse young, older and disabled people.
Bloomsbury is a national storehouse of the learning of all ages and the arts of all humankind. With more libraries, and museums than any part of London. An extraordinary line-up of the world’s most influential thinkers, from Mahatma Gandhi to Virginia Woolf to Charles Darwin, have lived and worked in the area.

Following in their footsteps, the Bloomsbury Festival empowers the extraordinary people that live and work here today – and shows what neighbours, no longer strangers, can achieve together.

And one more good read from y'day.
