I have kept saying to people I wanted to go climb Hampstead Heath. So figuring T’Nealle would be up for it. We packed some swimming attire stopped by the local Sansburys in Camden and went up to the Heath. We made a picnic, in a very DIY kind of manner. T’Nealle was very proud of her pink socks, I was… Read more →

Luton!
SO BBE were due to play in Luton, which is a town best known for having an airport where Easy Jet flies from north of London. On the way to the tube station, we passed this snail mural. The band played a good show, to a bunch of local Luton folk. A reasonable crow came, I was skeptical at first… Read more →
I don’t know why I like this:
It is a really nice portrait. Well not quite a portrait. You know what? I’d like to recreate this image someday. I think it is very cool. It was posted on fffound which is an image sharing site. So sorry, I have no idea where to credit this to. Read more →
The post where I get a band again.

So they arrived on Friday while I was at work… I asked T’Nealle to bring my camera to Kokos where they were playing. Later on I found they took a few… Read more →

The one with the Royal Pavillion: That brought some flashbacks to architecture school. Following from my Carousel obsession… I rode the… Read more →
Every Day…
Every day I walk past a set of warehouses called Omega on the way to the set of warehouses where I live. Most of the ones up at Omega seem to be full of musicians and people who throw massive parties. Also a few artists up there seem to have constant exhibition openings. One of the art studios has these… Read more →
Tough Shit and Mind Tricks
Part of me still thinks he’s just away on holiday, and one day I’ll go down to the pub with the boys and he’ll just be there. I swear my mind just keeps telling me that all the people I’ve lost haven’t passed on, just gone away for a while, and someday, they’ll all be back. I still feel like… Read more →
a maze.
Last week there was a hedge maze in Trafalgar Sq. I went and completed it in less time that it took to queue to get in. It was based kind of on streets of London. Read more →
