A couple of months ago I was on a training course in Milton Keynes and spotted a curiosity which turned out to be a bookable venue for experimental photography, and so we reserved ourselves a slot for today and went off to have some fun.
If Freespiral was impressed by me balancing on the edge of my bath the right way up yesterday, just look at what Arachne is up to today!

We heard that this venue, kitted out by IKEA, is not the best, other affiliated venues furnished by different stores are better, and John Lewis may be the best. I have done a little research and the upside down houses at Milton Keynes and Lakeside both have written in their blurb that they are furnished by IKEA. I happen to know that both of those have a large IKEA store close by, so pehaps it stands to reason that the upside down house at Westfield is the one with John Lewis furnishings.
Why does it matter? Well I have just spent a while painting over IKEA QR codes on the furniture in this image. All the other rooms are plastered with lime green notices not to run or hang from the furnishings. The sitting room has one book on the coffee table and one on the shelf, and it's the same book, which has caused me to crop Arachne cartwheeling over the sofa. 
Lesson learned.
After all the fun of being in a gravity-free environment we sat down close to a giant deck-chair whose canvas had just been nicked to make a gazebo somewhere else.
Milton Keynes is a very strange place no matter how you look at it.
