Sven's life in Oz

A short review of the Eliasson exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.

Let me start with belated Easter wishes for you all, and the usual apology for taking so long to send you news of our adventures.  As you will see, we have been extremely busy of late.  I shall try not to bore you with too much detail, but there’s a lot to cram in so pull up a comfortable chair, a cup of tea and a biscuit, and when you’re comfortable, we’ll begin.

Dear Friends,

Sorry not being in touch sooner. I have received one or two reminders to get back in front of the computer and tell you all about Australia, but it has been a little hectic here and the more time that passes the more there is to say so it gets harder and harder to know where to start! Thanks to everyone for your kind messages after my grandad’s death – it was very difficult being so far away, but also easier in some respects and it was lovely of you all to send your wishes.

You can watch a BSL version of this, or read on. (more…)

In no particular order:

• Updated the photos on his blog to get rid of that stupid ‘Open Wide’ picture.
• Podcasted the sections of the blog he meant to
• Put the last Letter Home into BSL
• Got a job
• Changed his phone alarm from 8.45am because he wakes up at 7.30am and it’s a good way of remembering where he left his phone last night if it makes a noise and gives away its hiding place.
• Had a cup of tea in five days
• Got out of bed before writing this list
• Skyped Milo because the mic on my mac will only work when it thinks you’re not looking, which means I have to sneak up on it with the volume and never, ever make eye contact.

I’m sure there’s more.  It’ll come to me.
