We were thwarted last week when we tried to participate in Winterlude activities. We tried to go to the Museum of Civilisation but the NCC had closed the Alexandria Bridge so they could shoot fireworks off it.Loved seeing the crowd of people streaming away from the blocked bridge cursing the NCC.
This week was much more successful. Had a ridiculously good brunch at Murray Street with C and FA then wandered around town and looked at the new sculpture on Nepean Point “100 Foot Line”.
I actually think the sculpture works really well. 
Then we listened to a discussion between the NGC director and the sculpture’s artist Roxy Paine.Will definitely go some Thursday night to check out Painting Machine Unit which will be making a painting over the next month. (and discussion of which led M to label me “Snark Machine Unit #1).
One slight disappointment- the street art (possibly by Ottawa artist Bank St) I had wanted to see was already removed. I’ll keep looking around town…..
