Raining art

If it is Friday, it must be raining, right? Well of course! However it is nothing like the rain seen in Japan last year and, unfortunately, I think the rain will be with me on and off for the next week. However, won't let that stop me getting out and about! Spent mostof the day in the Portland Art Museum. This was much bigger than I expected, with both local art and some international pieces from many different eras. I was in there so long it even stopped raining by the time I had finished!

Later in the day I made the mistake of going to a mall. Apparently, a mall is the place to go trick-or-treating. Therefore there were hundreds of small kids (and many adults too) going round the shops getting all the sweets they could. You've got to feel sorry for the shops not taking part who had resorted to putting out signs saying "we have no candy"!
