The raw materials - I ought to explain that in London we have 3 free papers a day (this is one of them) in addition to all the well-known ones you have to buy.

And this is how they are turning newspapers into the walls and ceiling and floor of the house. Lots of willing hands needed!

Well.... it isn't often that anything culturally interesting happens in Dalston. OK there is the Vortex Jazz Bar which is pretty well known - the Arcola Theatre - which maybe the best fringe theatre in London and there is the Rio cinema - but Dalston just isn't a cultural destination. Kebabs - yes! the famous Ridley Road Market - yes!! but not culture....
So imagine my surprise when I saw this poster for an art installation and - in spite of the rain - off I went. It was fun - a great idea and far better than being diverted into the Sainsburys arcade and eating mini doughnuts!!!
