I had a great day in London with Joe today. We visited the Science Museum, had lunch in a coffee bar and then ‘did’ the dinosaur gallery at the Natural History Museum. It’s great to see all these museums still being free – I hope they continue to be so!

There is a lot of ‘hands on’ stuff at the Science Museum which Joe totally loves. One activity in the Launch pad which was fun is Social Light by Scott Snibbe, being called an interactive artwork. Snibbe using ligh in various ways, and in this in particular art piece (or is it science?), he uses shadows. The idea is to play with your shadow in front of a screen which is continually being videoed. The cool thing is that then you can ask for your pesonal piece of art to be emailed to you. I’ve posted Joe’s here for all to see. I think it displays well the joker character of my youngest son!

Days out with just one of my children are quite rare and I find them pretty unique experiences. It’s unusual to be with just one alone and have the chance to interact and learn new stuff about them. I’m not sure that today I learnt anything new about Joe … we just had a great time1 Thanks Joe for a cool day!
