Royal Weekend
drinking champagne with raspberries no less while watching the royal nuptial with sis on the couch in our pj's was the weekend's finest moment. It just got better from there including a royal tour of our own, one that the queen would be proud of. Not really, but it was a good effort on a windy day as my scarf was flaying wildly and pollen was showering down in St James. We saw the flags, we saw the famed balcony (place of famed royal kiss) and it was enough to make anyone feel patriotic, especially with a stroll past the household cavalry (ok and a quick photo) A royal weekend indeed, bring on the bunting...

gigs & new music

last week went to a random gig at koko in camden. It was a girl with a powerful voice- Claire McGuire, she reminded me of Marina and the Diamonds. We also saw Mona a cool newly discovered band (well newly discovered by me anyway..) Its always a fun night at koko, such a great venue and it was nice to celebrate Australia day there with our mate all the way from there visiting.

oh whilst on the subject of new music and Australia 'Gypsy and the cat' are amazing x

Brighton on the weekend

So this weekend its apparently meant to snow in london- well thats what the guy on the radio is saying, a little too often if you ask me! considering it probably won't happen I am not planning my weekend around it. Instead I am going to the ragtrade pop-up in brighton to get myself some designer bargains! allbe it secondhand- designer and bargain all the same. What better reason to go to Brighton too and have a cosy pub lunch.. mmm.

@ Viktor Wynds Museum of Science

Attended a lecture, like the learned person I am and failed to realise that everyone there would know who William Burroughs is. I do too now in fact and the lecturer- Oliver Harris had some interesting thoughts on his work and also on the relationship between him and his publisher. While it was all very intellectually stimulating when we left, I could help but wonder about a few things that were not discussed- Williams Burroughs acidentally shot his wife whilst re-enacting a play..I wanted to know more..
