I returned on Friday from my trip to Lausanne to attend the QCQS conference just in time to attend an event at my local music venue. Called Barrioke, it is like Karaoke, except Shaun Williamson (aka Barry from Eastenders) is on stage to sing along with you. Unfortunately, we arrived a little late (albeit before Shaun was onstage) and seem to have missed the sign-up part of the event, so we just watched and listened, rather than actually get up on stage ourselves. A missed opportunity.

Saturday was "Surrey Day" in celebration of the county where I live. The one thing we did in its honour was to go to Watts Gallery in Compton, just outside Guildford. They were offering free entry to anyone who lived in Surrey, and so we cycled there (over a big hill) to take part. We arrived a bit late in the day (because of various kids' activities) and didn't get to see the whole thing, but enjoyed what we did see - the chapel, and the restored house where Watts and his wife and collaborator Mary Tytler lived and worked. Here, to show off, is the elevation profile of the cycle ride to the gallery, along with a picture I took inside the chapel of my family enjoying the visit
