Romantic and delicious West Indian lunch in Neal’s Yard
In the Wild Food cafe
Solace for Anne and Peter in the garden
Amazingly, this statue is all bronze. Just a bit of chemical treatment makes the beechnut husks look so real. Anna Gillespie, (video)

Kim Booth – a hot tube portrait

After about an hour we got hungry and Peter was thrown out, so went to Five Fields for some scrumptious food.

Not quite finished, but now looking more like a rat

Setting off from Putney
First impressions of Portland. Mark’s the one on the left.
Not many pictures today when we met Liliana, Nathan and Chris in the Red Lion in Crown Passage.
So here’s a video of one of Nathan’s songs.
And here’s a video of Lockes the hatter, just in case you need a made to measure bowler, panama or any other sort of hat.
And here’s my free Michael Landy T-shirt, freshly ironed by Gerhild for my trip to Portland tomorrow with Mark.
Michael Landy’s show at the National Gallery was loads of fun, and I won a T-shirt, wayhay!
Our ace wildlife photographer in action at the London Wetlands.
There’s another one mum.
I know dear, just ignore him and he’ll go away in a minute.
Fantastic production of the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime at the Apollo in Shaftesbury Avenue.
More clouds inside Saint Pancras than outside.
Paul Day’s perspective on life in the underground.
Delicious potted supper in LMNT with Camilla & Mario.
We had a delicious Ottolenghi picnic in Kensington Gardens today. Gerhild says he is famous. Well, it was famously expensive, but it was worth it.
A virtual jacuzzi to cool you down on hot days like today.
A free beer for anyone who knows where this is. I like the helmet the woman cyclist bottom right is wearing, the one holding the saxophone. I guess that just one week in Portland might be a bit short for anything similar.
Super cool Gerhild with a background provided by Manchester School of Art.
Kim looking for inspiration for his sculpture course next week.
Delicious decisions or yummy yoghurt.
On the way to the Tabernacle to listen to Alela Diane.
Er, can you put me through to …

Here is one who doesn’t need to go to Dalston to climb up the facade.
This estate agent is really showing which way house prices are going.
Well who’d be a bishop with a pink gatehouse?
Are you looking for me?
So deuce means they love it?

Pimms next to the Thames!
This one?
Or that one?
Big beast on the way to Brick Lane.
As a practised horsewoman, Christiane was not too impressed with this guy’s style on top of the Whitechapel gallery. I wonder what he was reading…
(Google Rodney Graham’s “Erasmus Weathervane”)
Christiane & Thomas arrived safely.
So we set off for The Tower!
There was plenty of wiredlife around.
And a little wildlife.
A fine day.
At least there was no Kew at the entrance here and we could go straight in.
Arbus Mettalicus – for boys who climb trees who no longer have the knees. There was quite a bit of knee trembling to be seen up there, wandering through the foliage. Link
You’ve never seen water lillies like this. They would take the frog and a princess!
We had an athletic start to the day today.
Gerhild had a swinging time!
But she forgot to bring her skateboard…
Kim got a bit ratty later on. (by DALeast – they are tigers actually…)
Arrived safely so it’s time for a nice cup of tea on the balcony.
