So, that was fun. Oh, bless the character of london and its citizens, the people who don't have to deal with it sometimes say. There i was, standing on a traffic island in borough high street, minding my own business, taking some pitcures of this quite wonderfully initimidating evil-looking building opposite borough station, when, lo and behold, ( Read more... )

Before end of play tuesday, i am intending to take a picture that is either taken from the song title or a lyrics from the beatles. current thinking is along the lines of one of these ( Read more... )

Last night in the Victoria Apollo was wonderfully super. We started in pizza express because we both had cheese cravings. Well, personally, I always have cheese cravings, but because janet had them too pizza of somesort became this ghastly inevitability. The fact that we pigged stupid on wine, ice cream and caesar salad indicates that it wasn’t ( Read more... )

dido is a bit rubbish, and is about as tuneful as a single cylinder moped. but the last minute of don't think of me completely rocks in an ear pleasuring manner.
