We started out at about 10:30 on our way to the Tate Modern, stopping on the way to see Buchingham Palace and have a chat to Liz. Walked through The Green Park, and supprise, the 'changing of the guard' had just started. Traditional, serious, and at times quite comical, however a wonderful spectical to see.
When we arrived at the Tate Modern it was time for sometning to eat and drink, at about 2:00 pm. What a building! It's a converted power station. The art spaces are are beautifuly 'clean' and the ceilings hights range from about five meters to thirty meters.
A dimily lit room with nine hugh Mark Rothko paintings, Warhol, Duchamp and so on. A highlight was my favourite Picaso painting, 'Weeping Woman'. There were also works by Donald JUDD and Carl Andre (firebricks) - have a look at the website.

Quote of the day from a BBC commentator referring to a Graham Norton drug scandal. Said it was just "a storm in a coffee table".
