I disappeared for a while. I wish I could say I was typing words, colouring thoughts, painting walls, baking bread… I wasn’t. I was moving house and then I was working hard, and then I sort of stopped for a few days, but now? Now we’re back on track with a wish for an Ashish sweatshirt that says hello and goodbye.
It’s time to climb out of the mire and into momentum – plans of travel, plans of mix-tapes, plans of lying down in a bed in a swish hotel where there are ponies near and red wine in a outstretched hand, with a book that has words that I don’t stumble over, in a space that doesn’t kneel on my chest too heavily, and plans of opening ears in a dark room where most people plant feet firmly, just swaying, and then the plan to buy some threads – some sweet trousers, winter boots, a Rodarte (Radarte) tee and some shoes. Lady shoes.
So, the weekend is all about sorting out a UK break in a lovely hotel, booking flights to Copenhagen and planning a trip to end all trips – I want to see the Northern Lights, so I will.
Another day, another cup of tea and a bacon sandwich. This Bank Holiday weekend is full of hope and back pain. Leftfield and Aphex Twin. Packing and boxes. And my iPhone is arriving on Monday – am too excited. I’m excited because I haven’t had one yet and because now I can start to impress upon Maffews the amount of iPhone pain I’ve put up with over the years. I’m pretty sure I’m going to turn inward, but also out – hipstamatic uploads, constant tweeting, Spotify music in my earholes, watching stuff on the bus on the way to work, checking out what the world is up to. I really hate it but I’ve got to put one in my pocket soon, or else I’ll fall off the world and it’s Apple turning ways.
Here’s to a three day weekend (I doubt there’ll be the sunshine Etienne De Crecy hoped for) complete with boxes and beer.
Got involved in some Diana action a while back and this is the fruit of my loom. Think it was in Bath at Easter and it was hot. Hot hot. We ate mussels with amazing bread and then we went and had a BBQ with amazing sausages. Merguez.
Andy and I not being particularly terrible.
Going to try and get a few decent shots today using the Silver Shade film but it’s so unpredictable that it makes me have a minor panic attack every time I take a shot. I’ll cross my fingers when I push the button…
Yes ,etc. etc. is how life is flowing these days. Flow, mow, bow, show… We are all little fish in a big bath.
Off to a wedding tomorrow, complete with open-top bus journey and beef carpaccio. Now I just need to decide whether to wear a flowery dress, or a navy wrap dress, or a tie dye affair. Decisions, decisions.
Just 2.5 more hours until this long weekend begins to unfurl. Bring it.
Yesterday was my birthday and it was probably one of the best days ever. My mum rolled up in her Alexander Wang and Current/Elliott combo making me amaze at how amazing she is. We drank some vino in the Cork and Bottle before hitting up J Sheekey to eat sea bass, many amazing grilled fish, cheese and drink just enough Gewurztraminer and sherry. AMAZING. The place is classy, the service impeccable and the salt shakers are heavy. We loved it. I got spoiled with too many unexpected gifts and I got to wear my favourite shoes.
Some birthday stuff I got:
Polaroid Impossible Project film.
Kate Kanzier shoes and bag.
The Vamoose necklace.
Tonight we’re off to see ‘Inception’ at the IMAX, eat Chinese and chat shit. Can’t wait for Janey Mac day tomorrow with food at Gilgamesh.
I wonder if they do Slush Puppies at the IMAX. Here’s hoping…
