Pics from your State Sanctioned Exercise.

Went out this evening and glued up my first five ceramic hearts in memory of my dog, Ruby. Idea is to glue them in places where I have a happy memory of her.

1) a tree trunk I often sat on while she plotzed about, in Springfield Park (will remove tape tomorrow when glue has fully set):

2) under a bench in Springfield Park where she'd sniff about looking for chicken bones:

3) on the wall outside the playground where she and I would wait for the kids I was paid to look after, before walking them home:

4) on one of the bridges leading to Leyton marshes, where we'd often roam:

5) outside a flat we lived in 2012-2013:

I've made an Instagram account for this project:

Discovered a new outdoor place a few miles up the road from me.

Can currently only walk for short periods of approx 30 minutes while in a lot of pain from back / hamstring and stopping a few times but I’ve still gone and done it three times since Sunday so quite proud of myself.
 
Didn't take any pics en route, but did walk along the river and through the park to my pottery class in Homerton today.

Where I made yet more hearts for my Ruby memorial project. For firing in the kiln tomorrow:

Spent the morning walking round town looking at art with my sister.

First in The Wellcome Collection:

Then we walked to the West End, to another gallery.

Saw these in a shop window along the way:

And Soho Square:

Before stopping for lunch at the Hare Krishna place just off the square.
