Today I braved the rain and managed to get to the V&A quite early. After visiting the disconcerting 'Tomorrow' installation by Elmgreen & Dragset, I took in as much as possible for inspiration before I got too hungry (the cafe was ridiculously busy and expensive and even though I had budgeted myself a captive audience priced snack I still balked). I started off sketching but resorted to taking snaps on my camera phone, hence why the pics aren't great quality.
