This week hasn't been as summery, so we bought some hanging baskets and new plants and flowers to brighten up the mews.
We borrowed Diana's ladder to hang the baskets up, and now she has swine flu, so I guess it's just a matter of time before we all get it. We're not entirely sure how we're going to water the flowers, as they're so high up, but Emma and Raven have volunteered to lean out of their window and drop water down on to them.
On Thursday we went for sushi with Raz and Anna at a tasty restaurant under Centre Point. The food was so fresh and nice. Afterwards we grabbed root beers and amaretto at the Crobar, which Anna described as tasting like "disinfectant marzipan", and went to see Gran Torino at The Prince Charles. We got the super comfy, double-size, fold up love seat at the back.
I bought a dress during the xmas sales, which turned out to be one or two sizes too small for me, that now fits perfectly! My jogging has been paying off and I'm super happy. Tom bought me a gorgeous Vivienne Westwood brooch to wear with it.
In other news, we've been giving dating advice to the neighbours, Tom taught me how to read Roman numerals and I've bought some sports wear, so that we can go play tennis in the park and run around the track. |

Tonight we were at the recording of Charlie Brooker's new TV show, You Have Been Watching. It was shot in a dodgy studio, over in Hammersmith, where they use to record TFI Friday. Jamelia, Ruthus Hound & Richard Herring were the guests. It was very funny, apart from having to sit right at the front, on uncomfortable seats for 4 hours. They made fun of Tony for looking like Hitler... which he doesn't.
On Saturday, we went to Plan 9 and Tom had a 4th of July hot dog. We're planning to have a huge vegetarian BBQ next week, if the weather's nice.
The past week has been so hot, that it's been hard to get much work done, so I've been hanging out with the various neighbours and watching Wimbeldon - I didn't realize how much I liked tennis. We've also been having girly nights in with Raven and Emma. This week we watched Wild Child and Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion (I'd forgotten how awesome that film is.) Alice Dellal has been recording a shouting song next door, which seems to involve running back and forth to the car to listen to the song on the stereo very loudly. She told Tom that we have a lovely place.
On the subject of interior design, I was sent a very cool book called New London Style, which features various interesting houses around the city. Also, if you're a fan of roller derby, we have tickets for Roll Britannia up for grabs. |

just received a compliment on our mews from Alice Dellal. She's been sing screaming with our neighbour all day. It's too hot! |

Yesterday we got to hang out with Lyndsey. We'd spotted a Chinese river boat festival in TimeOut, which sounded good but when we got there, it wasn't what we expected. It seemed to be all about selling insurance. There was a stage where someone called Bathroom Girl was performing, which was amusing.
We decided to head to Canary Wharf and have lots and lots of sushi instead.
Afterwards we headed to Gordon's Wine bar for an icy cold bottle of white wine. We picked up some cupcakes up from CandyCakes and heading home for spaghetti bolognaise.
We had our dinner outside and Raven and Emma (our upstairs neighbours) joined us. Time flew away with itself and we ended up chatting until after midnight. Tonight we're all having a girly night in, watching Wild Child with lots of popcorn. |

This gorgeous cigar box from Ori-Janel arrived this morning. Janel sent it to say thank you and it's soooo pretty. I love the handle.
We headed over to Tatty Devine on Brick Lane to see Peaches today. She was signing records and jewelry boxes.
The customized necklaces look pretty cool.
Afterwards we went for a cocktail and I managed to spill my one all over myself :( It was far too hot today and the paper said it could be 35 degrees next week!
We had sushi in the park and then bought an awesome new camera lanyard, from Covent Garden. We saw the girl from The Real Hustle in the street and made sure she hadn't picked our pockets. I wanted to pop in to Lush and pick up some shower gel but the staff were determined to stop me and have a conversation about my bag / necklace / outfit, so I decided to leave it and order some from Ocado.
On the way home a storm started and Tom said I couldn't take a photo of it in a million years. Here are the only two shots I took, both with lightening in them. Yay! |
