Shuffle Festival @ St. Clements Social Club

St. Clements is a fomer mental facility in Mile End that recently opened its doors again to give place to a very peculiar Social Club. To help get the word out Danny Boyle*, the friendlier neighbour they could wish for, organised a mini Film Festival called Shuffle.

Both Shuffle and St. Clements are incredible good ideas, so watch this space for a second Shuffle and go and have a look at that incredible building in East London, they have cafés, bars, music, vintage stuff, nice gardens, incredible stories, and mysterious places for you to enjoy!


*He was always around, you can see him in my shy fan photo ;)

Accounting July

This month there was:

A little bit of Catalunya.

A new haircut. 

Several visits to the Barbican.

One archeological prototype (stay tuned for more info about this!)

One massive mirror and many angles.

One dear friend and his adorable baby visiting.

A new house (yes, another one), garden and BBQ's included.

The best gin cocktail I've ever had

(thanks Westminster Reference Library and Hendrick's)

One sunset in the Southbank, with a couple million people around.

Mali music in a festival.

One of those wonderful long days chasing the sun

(on our way to California).

A dozen cats trying to win the Fat Cat Café "Cat Factor" contest.

One new book.

One pizza for breakfast on a Sunday.

And more important: no human sacrifice.

Bring it on August!

Parliament Hill / Hampstead Heath

Yesterday, when the weather stopped being bipolar I went to Parliament Hill & Hampstead Heath for the first time since I'm living here. 

I know. 

Now I want to live there. What an incredible place to walk, jog, swim, chat, photograph, make a picnic, read, sleep, play, think... be.

PS. Both Hari Kunzru's Memory Palace short story and the V&A Exhibition are amazing. Don't miss out!

The Unexpected Sunday Treat

I found this on my way to Parliament Hill / Hampstead Heath today. It said 'please take', and of course, I took.

How should I call my new minidog?
