This is a bit of a rubbish post as it is very late. Insecurity Guards, have you heard of them? Well, I cannot tell you tonight, but I think it's fair to say that they have nothing to do with Lady Emma Hamilton except for the word 'insecurity' in their name and the tittle of the lecture advertised below. Am I right, ,Danni and Graham?
How come mosaicing Carrie Reichardt's house comes into the equation, I won't tell you tonight either. :-)
