My room

John Lewis bed and wardrobe, settling into room, Housemates all moved in.

Moving on in

BRAAAAAIIS. Sunday at Jim's parents, Saturday in Richmond park with lots of deer, very small ones and one scary big male. Friday drinks in Richmond Revolution with Amiculum! Smoking in the sunset on the balcony. Buying a bed. Southbank members late viewing of 'Alternate guide to the Universe' with Ams. Mozart evening at Mandeville place with SJ - trying not to laugh. Failing. MOVING IN TO COURTRAI.

In Honor of Oak Park

FINALLY! A braai!! Sarah in SA. Meeting Jen Brister at the Phoenix Fringe in Soho on Saturday night, also Karen and Jen's gf, Chloe. Saturday night, Sunday morning, Sunday all day. Poached eggs and reading magazines, Richmond park deer and the Indian family playing cricket. Phoning my gran to tell her about my life. Vida in Cradock. Monday night Amiculum drinks.

Momentary panic about the way out location of my new abode, until I found the Crystal Palace train... Fetching boxes from Croft Road. House Crew dinner at Mel's. Train ride into Waterloo for dinner at Southbank with Susan and Cathy.

Painting with the colour of magic

Moved in at Harrington Mews after a motherly cab ride with Ula. Painting with Finn. Wonderful homely Sunday meal in the Irish household of Bernie and Tiny. Monday night. Hotel Transylvania, vegetable noodles, G&T. Tuesday with SAM AMS ROZ at Pizza Express Clapham Junction. Swan Lake Reloaded with Susan! Talking noise in Leicester Square at dusk. Thursday night jamming. Cucumber and mint noodle salad. Reading Terry Pratchett's Colour of magic. Schrödinger's candy email at work gets some laughs!

Fuuuuuuuuuuck

Packing up the bits of my life I want to keep. Throwing away the rest. Did not make enough allowance for how shit crazy it's all getting. Mix this stock exchange bar graph with a cosine expression to describe Shazam and you see how fucked I am.

HOT in the day, soft rain at night... The Sunday night of EVERYTHING. The Monday of EVERYTHING else.

Dinner and drinks with Susan, Candy bar and PK at the door; drinks with the HOUSE CREW - 33 COURTRAI ROAD - moving out to 3B. And the QUANTUM JOURNEY ALONG THE WAY.

Puuuut down the JAM

Great weekend with Sarah's birthday braai - Susan, Roz, Jim, Finn, The Geldies, Sam and Justine. One unexpected revelation and one missed opportunity. Smoking with Sue and Binks, SINGSTAR! Sunday talk with mom. Jesus Christ. Sue's Amnesia helped that one though.

Losing my mind over The Scientist.

New office friend :) Drumkit packed away.

Jesus what didn't I do this week. Drinks with Amiculum - Paula and Clare. The skype conversation. Drinks with Elle and a multitude of talking. Going home drunk and getting into a Facebook Jam. Find Sarah in the dark. Music music. I need to write. I feel momentarily tapped back into the time and place where everything was rich and painful, sweet and delightfully hard. Funny how these moments have to come at a price.

Friday night out with miss J and Irene - have not laughed this much in a VERY long time. Taxi home with Shazam.

"You and I remain eternally weird"

Chilled, busy weekend. House viewing in Streatham with Mel, Pancakes, H&M, Sarah hangover after AMANDA FUCKING PALMER. Best. Gig. Ever.

Sunday at Tully's farm for Finn's birthday. Finn's painting done and epic. Gays, Ams, Nan, the Moir clan, trampoline, blow-up slide and bouncy castle. Amazing cake. Monday back at Mortlake.

Amsterdam hot and gay as always. Eydie from Hong Kong on the flight, frozen yoghurt with stroopwaffles by the iamsterdam sign, YYY gig at Paradiso was out of this world - sweaty as fck, great view, great people. Londoners rock the crowd better though. Windmills in Zaanse Schans, drinks and goats cheese salad on a 'beach' by the river. Tessla, and the worlds of thought that ensued on the balcony of the best room yet. Work emails well into the night and trying not to fall right in. Failing.



We look no different from the outside. But the inside has been rearranged, exchanged, revamped and reinvented. Our shift will seem, in time, to have been remarkably smooth, natural,
