Well technically, 'father is watching' as it's a male lion back there, I thought it more fierce. I also thought the piece a sort of play on the 'lion and lamb' story.

Bad foot driving was interesting. It is an automatic, thank goodness, so I used my left for the brake and my bad foot for gas, but there is a sort of raised carpeted bump next my accelerator so I was able to sort of rest my very taped and double socked foot on it. It was not fun, but I had to go check on my rental cottage.

I'd live a double dd day out! Too bad you live on the 'wrong' side of the usa ;) and when I travel I go even further east! Someday, maybe. Or, I could skype with you whilst in London and we could look at things together. Maybe I'd tape my surface to a little robot roomba and you could 'follow' me around the V & A portrait gallery :)
