Since I haven't blogged for a while, I'm going to be blogging to inform you followers out there about what I've been doing around London for the first Olympic week. First up is the Southbank. There's been quite a bit of interactive stuff around there, in particular the Waterloo area, my personal favourite being this build-a-Lego-map activity. Each participant is given a square of Lego to build on and a sheet showing which colours to put where, and everyone's square is eventually incorporated into an enormous Lego world map.
The annual Watch This Space dance, music and circus festival at the National Theatre is smaller than normal this year due to the Olympics, but I still managed to see Spanish comedy/acrobatics group Los2Play perform yesterday. Here they are in one of their bigger balances.
Here's the latest sculpture outside the Hayward Gallery, which I think is better than that fox thing last year. A baobab tree made from rolls of fabric, how original does it get?
A South African mascot parades around near Waterloo Bridge, giving random people hugs as he goes.
That's all for the Southbank, but tomorrow I plan to go check out Brazil's London 2012 base at Somerset House(also home to a lot of Rio 2016 souvenir shops)...
