Margaritas. Girls. Pumpkins. Monobrows. Delicious Mexican food.

Cosy slipper Friday

Today Abbie and I bought matching slipper booties. Alpine pattern and furry inside, we're going to live in them during our work Christmas cottage weekend.

Taxidermy Thursday

Interesting article on the reawakening art of taxidermy in current Design Week. I don't know why, but I do like a stuffed fox or bird...

Sick Wednesday

Another sick day, bleurgh. I don't enjoy being defeated by a cold and spending most of the day in bed or in the bath. The good news is that I think the gallons of tea and entire contents of Boots pharmacy have helped me to win the battle.

Lazy Sunday

Still full of a cold, the perfect excuse to read the papers in bed all day.

Dove Saturday

A cold crisp day called for pints outside the lovely Dove pub. This is the sunshine on a curious Halloween decoration. We were drinking next to Will Young, very handsome he is too.

Coldy Friday

Full of a stupid cold but this excellent horse lamp caught my eye - it's in the window of a building near my studio and I only wish my flat was big enough to house it.

Reunion Sunday

A brilliant day in the Essex countryside with the uni girls, involving laughing, Geoff the simple cat and a magnificent cheeseboard.















The devastated cheeseboard.

Relaxed Saturday

Today was glorious. Broadway market for coffee with the girls and some shopping, baking and cooking.

These guys were playing at Broadway, they're so uplifting and make all the cynical too-cool hipsters smile. If I ever get married, I'd have them play at my wedding.





I'm posting more than one shot today because I got a few interesting ones.






This is the abandoned kids' hospital near my house. It's creepy and strange.







Kristina enjoys the spoils of the cake-baking.

Scottish Friday

Normal post-work drinks in our lovely local old man's pub turned into raucous karaoke. We were accosted by a very drunk and friendly Dundonian lady, this is her doing a big finish to a surprisingly good rendition of Lulu's Shout. (Note the classy mirrored ceiling...)

Tate Bash Thursday

Technically I didn't take this shot but I did edit it a bit. This is at the client party at Tate Modern that we were involved in designing. Pretty spectacular. In case you're wondering, that big ball with the dangly lady underneath is a heliosphere.

Foxy Wednesday

Spotted a huge fox boldly prowling round my courtyard tonight - couldn't get a decent snap of him but the thing casting the shadow in the top left of the yard is him...

Just Tuesday

Saw this Hendricks Horseless gin carriage pop up on the way home. Had I not been detoxing, I'd have been in like a shot.

Pub Quiz Monday

Another attempt at the pub quiz netted us third place, and gave us the opportunity to draw in half Mick Hucknall's face on the picture round. It cracks me up every time I look at it.

Mel's Birthday Friday

Today the sun came out and Mel arrived to celebrate her birthday via the medium of east London cocktails. Tapas at Morito and mixing our drinks. Lovely.

Sunny Thursday

I pass this shop every day, it's old-fashioned and lovely. One day I'll go in because it looks like it smells really good, like old books.

Sunset Wednesday

After another crappy morning in Clerkenwell, the sky rectified it with this lovely sunset.

Tube Strike Monday

London was gridlocked with the strike and miserable in the rain. Still, it was cheering to see new art while walking home down Old Street.

Columbia Road flower market in the rain.

Funny Saturday

Lie-in, Broadway market (where we saw this huuuge Great Dane) and a brilliantly funny dinner party in the east end. Lovely Saturday.

Pandora Friday

Technically I didn't take this but I did edit it a bit. This is my sister's new horse Pandora, posing prettily with my niece. Can't wait to meet her.
