Here's something I saw on Upper Western Road: Anna's Museum. It's a collection of trinkets and artifacts curated by a child or an adult with interesting handwriting. It's little things like this (the Deans, the isthisyou people, the weird snowmen) I love Brighton for.
Sunday I went to the Art Junky flea market where my housemate Kirsten was exhibiting some of her Stride Designs work. Art Junky was awesome: good cake, fantastic stalls and a roaming band – imagine the coolest jumble sale ever. I picked up some lovely art books by Milly Freeman and Kate Blegvad.
Apart from that the weekend has been quiet. I hurt my back on Friday lugging heavy bags, which has meant I couldn't run today. I'm hoping that gets better very soon.

Anna is very pleased you like her museum. She is now 9 years old and fills our house with her collections. Most of the things she has found herself, but a lot are gifts from friends, and now from very kind passers-by. That is something we like about Brighton too.
A while ago we had a brilliant collection of Popeyes, loaned by my brother Peter, and we always do a sweet Nativity Scene with Godzilla and other toys.
Hi,
I love this museum too! I saw it when i visited Brighton in November 2010 and thought it was wonderful. Congratulations to Anna. I have added it to my museum flickr page….
