this actually IS amazing and I don't understand it.



1. Stare at the red star on the girl’s nose for 30 seconds
2. Turn your eyes towards the wall/roof or somewhere else on a plane surface
3. Keep blinking your eyes!

Interesting toilets - rubbish bar.

This bar is rubbish - Revolution in Covent Garden, anyway it's had a 'refit' apparently, and the one thing that is interesting is the mish-mash of madness that is going on in the women's toilets. Firstly the door seems to be made out of loads of lego bricks assembled and then glued together, actually that's pretty good. Once inside you are greeted by a hall of mirrors which had girl after girl pushing through desperate to see what their post-christmas ass looked like from all angles - I didn't even dare! My male companion informed me later that the mens is actually a row of brightly coloured buckets. yuk.
  




The wall of mirrors which made me stop to ponder once again the question which has plagued me for most of my adult life - is my parting on the right side? When possibly I should have spent the time wondering instead why I've got such hoofin' massive hands. Verdict - don't go in for a drink, but if you're passing by and need a wee......

Rome in a day and a half.








and the photojournalist Steve McCurry exhibition at the Museum d'Art Contemporanea Roma. I'll admit that I hadn't heard of him before - but his work is well known around the world and featured regularly in National Geographic. If this exhibit comes to London - or you pop over for a day in Rome - then go!
Quite funny to post his beautiful work after my crappy holiday snaps from my phone...

gourmet and other things.

This is Gourmet. He is a Gourami fish but because I keep pronouncing that incorrectly he has been simply named Gourmet. We've now got about 20 fish in the tank but he's the best.




This poster made me giggle, the can under the lights simply says TUNA, you may have to be a designer to understand. 'is this saying tuna to you?'


Kitty has a great salt cellar in her kitchen, it's an old glass medicine bottle squished down. 
O.M.G I'm working with carl again.... loving his shoes and socks of late.

Finally made it down to Brockley Market for some breakfast, it's totally brilliant and likely to be a regular saturday morning event.

Well done Craig Barnes.

Craig at Coley's has just finished working on M Savers. the value range from Morrisons.
He used to come home and swear about it almost daily, so not only am I relieved for him, but pleased that after such an effort on his part - it looks really great. Nice job, he tells me there's even a sardine tin.
