And then we had a Sunday

Broad beans: nature's over packaging

 

Towpath: we had a drink and watched drunk people capsize. Literally.

 

And some nicer than usual street art.

Yahoo = Hoo Ha!

Years ago I lived in this idyllic house for 2 years. One of my rooms in this house was the very same room that the founder of Yahoo! used to live in (one of those guys or maybe just netscape). Anyway, I, like most people, have long since stopped using Yahoo about 10 years ago. But my dear Hackney Freecycle insists on using this dinosaur system. Kills me! Ugh!

Every once and awhile, I wish we lived in LA

 
Not only would it take this dear writer back to her native state, but there would be sunshine and we would have gone here.

It is so cold and dark and windy and bone chillingly damp in London. Luckily, I have a German mother in law and a German grandmother in law. These two wise women are knit extraordinare and have made me these exquisite striped wool socks. See how they fit my feet PERFECTLY. So, we are wearing our wool socks, and eating auflaufs to get through the cold, dark winter while dreaming of Deauville.

Amish Pie Tote; I need this right now!

An aunty sent me a link to this blog. Yowzers, dear reader, yowzers.

The Lion, The Witch and Their Wardrobe!

Our shoes, our wardrobe.

Hackney is a TB zone. Please see image of Mantoux test from wikipedia and then my own welt.



Lets hope my lungs don't have it too!

Air Conditioning is for wimps

Dear reader,

It is summer in NY. This means it is gross. It also means I'm even more swaddled in wool and cashmere than in the winter. This is because of air conditioning. I hate A/C most of the time and think it is only needed a few days out of the year. Ugh. It is killing me. A quick google search suggests that it will also kill your future children, as those chloroflurocarbons will knock out the ozone layer and more people will get skin cancer.
