hackney fun-times

broadway, all gussied up for VE day. a few weeks ago now.

i finally, finally went to the geffrye museum the other day (after walking past it for about eighteen months now). they have the most glorious garden, filled with small girls making faces.




mallory and lou, up on a roof (mal's roof).

good intentions

like a bump  on a bump on a log, baby;
like i'm in a fistfight with the fog, baby;
step, ball-change, and a-pirouette!

and i regret 
how i said to you,
honey, just open your heart,
when i have trouble 
even opening a honey jar....

but i fell for you honey,
easy as falling asleep.
and that right there
is the course i keep.

and no amount of talking
is going to soften the fall


and there is hesitation,
and it always remains
(concerning you, me,
and the rest of the gang)

[arvid, from work]

and i know you meant
to show the extent
to which you gave a goddang

and i do hate to fold,
right here at the top of my game,
when i've been trying
with my whole heart and soul
to stay right here, in the right lane.

recent photos, mostly from my way to and from work. word are all from 'good intentions paving co.' by joanna newsom. it's been about ten years since i've needed to listen to a song at least five times a day. the last one was 'never is a promise' by fiona apple - this one is about a million times more upbeat and delightful and beautifully written.

feast

dinner at hannah's (which is matt and lizzie's, but they're away)

pockets, p-man.


chef mills. this is the last time i'll see him until i get back to australia. another one to be struck from the list.

we had to improvise a little. this is steph's wine cup.

and rice was served with an implement that looked suspiciously like a shoe-horn.

vienetta!

max and pockets.

the cat that got the ricotta.

steph and hannah.

farm life

still thursday, on our way from rochelle to climpsons, ellie and i stopped off at hackney city farm. it's quite ridiculous that neither of us had ever actually been in. it's definitely worthy of its own post.


a big fat pig!






i have a new-found love for donkeys. very soft ears.

sunday in the life

waiting for a table at albion... admiring the selection.

waiting (forever) for breakfast at albion with steph and hannah.

and temptation was succumbed to. hannah is as good at justifying as me - we worked hard all week and sunday was a beautiful day for the park and you can't go to the park without tasty treats. and there you have it.

steph and hannah.

another gig at climpsons, the end of the triple rosie tour.

ora, lizzie and kerry watching tom - "if whiskey doesn't kill me..."


matt d.

triple rosie. "if i could be a note, i'd be all of them."

that's ish marquez, the guy they were supporting on tour. they wrote some wicked songs on the road.

ora cogan, with help from max.

oscar had really shiny shoes on.

weekend!

ellie in the medieval battleground that is london fields on a sunny day (this is saturday after work).


and on sunday, soph matched everything.

up on the roof of bow brook house making the most of the sun while it was still kind.


after many wanderings (wonderings) all through the east we ended up out the back of brick lane...

... with brooke and antony.
