Emerging from flu, looking at the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham glaciers book.

Peter Doig’s ‘Music of the Future’ at the Serpentine. I thought I might be irritated by paintings accompanied by music but I really enjoyed it – the music is excellent and not ‘blasted’ as you might think from the Guardian review.
