The Girl in the Cellar

The story of the girl in the cellar, who was kidnapped eight years ago in Austria, is the kind of news story which will push everything else out of the front page, and probably generate a few Hollywood movie deals too.

This story reminds me of the artist Gregor Schneider, who recently had a show in London where two identical homes were used, with identical twins, and rooms furnished to imply the imprisonming of children. I didn't go to it, but it so affected Kevin that, to this day, he still talks about it as one of the most disturbing experiences of his life.

New Whale Stuck in the Thames

I may have spotted what seems to be a whale going down the Thames! I pointed it out to my boss and we ran outside onto the balcony to have a better look at it. It's either a whale/large fish, or a big tire floating down the river.

There are now three jet boats speeding down the river -- could they be after it? Neither the BBC nor any other news site seem to be reporting it... yet.

So, if it is a whale/large fish, I hereby name it Babaloo.

Go Babaloo Go!!
