postcards from london

Leonie — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:00:27 +0000

(the literal version)

these postcards were on a stand outside a part of london that doesn’t get many tourists passing by. i am very tempted to return, buy the whole stack of curled postcards on the right and use them for something creative.

maybe i could send them to people – do an unloved postcards swap or something.
any other suggestions?

new york map mural on w 10th st (cnr 7th ave). polaroid spectra

we are back from new york and i’ve got a backpack full of photos and stories to share with you though it’s going to take a few days to get around to sorting all the pictures i took!

me & kristen. my socks (2 from a set of 3) found at little miss matched. not just for kids!

in the meantime, here’s something i’d always wanted to try just once – bench monday… i always love kristen’s ones, so it was really fun to do this with her yesterday.

we tromped through the snow getting cold wet feet to take this photo. and i love it.

tuesdays

we have decided that tuesdays are not for racing home from work, cooking dinner and slumping, slack-jawed on the couch in front of the telly (not that we have one). tuesdays are for venturing out to see what goodies london has to offer.

tonight, our first successful excursion, began with wine at vinoteca; with me looking totally white middle-class, swilling my wine & sniffing at it looking all fancy & shit after going to a wine tasting course last saturday with husband & friends. it gets really busy in there and there was already a 90-minute wait for a table when we got there at 6.30. we’ll go back there for dinner some other day…

then we wandered up the road to pho, for tasty vietnamese.

clerkenwell, you were a favourite haunt of dickens in his time and i’m sure you’ve got many secrets to share with us.

london, i can’t wait to explore your streets and alleyways more in the weeks to come.
