"Surreal is anything bizarre or dreamlike.. so let's share a bizarre or dreamlike story. It doesn't have to be life changing or move people to tears or hysterics. Just share a story of something that was bizarre or dreamlike to you. Don't think too hard, it's not a contest and there are no grades. It's just a post here or on a blog, that's all. It doesn't have to be something that you experience you can even just share a bizarre story you heard or some bizarre news you saw on TV. Maybe you will lean towards the dreamlike story and share something that was so fantastic it felt like a dream?"
So being the obliging and obedient person that I am I began trying to think of what surreal thing write and do and subsequently thought about posting the photo of the Dali exhibition "Liquid Desire"- that was a surreal thing!
Signs for the Dali exhibition on the Victorian Arts Centre
it all began to seem surreal and Mission Impossible-esque- the instructions missing were"And you Mission ,Celia, should you choose to accept it is ..... this message will self destruct in 5 seconds".
The music is playing in my head too! So in all pretty surreal.
Getting back to the gallery visit which I posted about a week or so ago- we'd gone for lunch and then the exhibition- we had to queue in the amazing Great Hall I just love the Leonard French ceiling
then on the way out of the gallery itself Michele stopped to check out the sign with our mother's name which is in the list of contributors to the development of the gallery
