Alvar Aalto in Ealing
As it stopped raining heavily, I may pay a visit to the nearby Pitzhanger House and Gallery to see an exhibition on the chief Finnish modernist architect and designer Alvar Aalto, and his contemporary compatriot artist Ola Kolehmainer.

I did bike to see the exhibition between spells of rain. I saw everything that was on display!
