The Bellenden Bunfight

On Saturday the 10th of October, we shall be attempting to enter the bunfight. Last year we were 'rejected' for using an instant chocolate brownie mix which we had bought an hour earlier in "PayMore" - the local minimart. But this time we are going to cook something using real ingredients. We have 4 figs on our fig tree which may be ready just in time. For Bunfight info, head over here...

Bold Tendencies

For the past few months, there has been something rather interesting happening on the top of Peckham Multi Storey Car Park. A group of artists have set up an exhibition of sculptures spread out across the top few floors, and at least 3 deserve looking at. There's at trashed car on level 7 which may or may not be part of the exhibition, either way I thought it was rather wonderful. Probably the best thing is that there is a bar and cafe. There is a fantastic panorama of London, which you can enjoy whilst drinking beer and smoking a fagg. Sadly, tonight is the last night until next summer.

Driving

I watched a driving instructor today, who was parked on a double yellow line whilst talking to someone on his mobile phone. He then set about performing a 5 point turn, using only one hand (because he was still rabbitting on his phone), and proceded a few yards up the road, where he pulled up on a corner, reversed onto the pavement, then switched the engine off and let his foot off the pedals before putting on his handbrake. He rolled backwards about 2 feet before yanking the handbrake on.

Nice.

ColourScape

There were some very, very, strange things going on inside a multicoloured tent on Clapham Common today.

Juana

A friend of mine has finally got round to posting a video of himself performing when he was a cabaret artiste known as "Juana la Cubana". And it is totally obvious to me that he should come out of retirement and get back on the stage. Absolutely Brilliant...

Come on mate, you must still have some fishnets knocking around somewhere ...

Weddings

A couple of years ago, I bought an old black cab, which despite a bit of rust here and there, is a jolly good laugh to drive around in. Today, "Rosie" as she has become known, had a rather special day driving a Bride and her Dad to a wedding.
We filled the car with flowers, and played "Get me to the church on time" on the stereo. it was very nice and I'm sure I saw her welling up in the rear view mirror.
