Things I've Been Doing to Avoid Packing
PJ Harvey
Originally uploaded by inkognitoh So it's half midnight and I move house tomorrow. Among the things I've been doing to avoid packing the last little bits of my flat (not to mention cleaning the kitchen...) include but are not limited to, writing this blog entry, faffing about with Facebook, watching Hoppity Goes to Town because it's so rarely screened and I love it etc.
Other non-packing related activities include tonight's PJ Harvey gig and I finally visited the Southbank members bar which rather excitingly had a collection of Penguin Celebrations for me to rummage through. Some had already been pilfered but laughingly there was a copy of the Jeremy Clarkson book there for me :)
PJ was in good spirits and dressed in a sumptuous arty frock which was the collision of Goth, Disney's Snow White and Sex Pistols era punk, and possibly designed by someone famous and fabulous. She played a varied set, giving a nod to all corners of her back catalogue while introducing her new album. It was a nice gig and a great distraction.
The Thames tide was insanely low and someone seems to have known about this and taken great advantage as under Festival Pier there was a free party in full swing with a roaring fire and some very old school reggae blaring. I was so ridiculously tempted to grab a beer and head down there myself but was overruled as I seriously, totally and completely must finalise the flat if not tonight then first thing tomorrow...
Friday night I dragged silverjet_allie to the preview of Enrico David exhibition. We had a great chat, some excellent mezzes and even gave the art a cursory glance. Once we'd drank the bar dry we trundled off into the weekend.
