Some Melodious Plot

I know you love Manhattan, but you ought to look up more often.
Sundowners, shipmates. An old classic. And some Ed Askew too! 🤣
‘And you wait ‘til later ‘til later tonight You wait ‘til later, ‘til later ‘til later tonight …’
Some of them less naive than others I suspect. Curious aside, I read the piece in Soho Square with my regular Friday tin of lager, and so I had to take a photo.
Spicy Margarita and a turn. The Homertones. Clearly jumping on the Odyssey bandwagon, and nothing at all to do with East London.
Walking back through Kensington Gardens post-Prom last night.
First Prom of the Season. The Spanish National Orchestra rushing the Bolero so they can get down the pub for the second half.
First Prom of the season tonight. Rhythms of Spain with the Spanish National Orchestra. I reckon a few of the musicians might be less inclined to do an encore …. :-)
“Tell me about a complicated man. Muse, tell me how he wandered and was lost when he had wrecked the holy town of Troy.” Or … “I’m not going to be back for tea, love!”
Eric Ravilious and his 'Owl on a Rocky Hollow Lane' is giving me the itch for a south of England road trip. Dark, gloomy holloways are calling.
Look at the Comet in front of it. Speedometer on the hood!
Enterprise have upgraded me again. A bit trickier on the clutch than the Nissan Juke.
‘But Frank put it best when he said "You can't plan on the heart"’ Indeed he did! Sundowners! 🌞
Cool things spotted already this weekend. A Jersey Tiger Moth and a splendid Fiat, aptly outside Bar Italia. Not sure of the exact species though. A Coupe Vignale?
Was behind the curve for a sundowners tonight. At least it’s lovely and cool now. Take it away, Madame Sarkozy! Happy Friday, shipmates.
Kevin Morby at Troxy. Hottest gig ever. I need a good drink and a fan now!
Third of my three Father’s Day presents. One of them had to be ditched - drinking late in the garden and resting it on the ground - for reasons that might make you feel ill.
My hedge was a bit Half Man Half Biscuit’s ‘Every Time a Bell Rings’ today. So I cut it. Hydration Break.
Seven Sisters in Tottenham morphing into downtown Bogotá right now. 🇨🇴
It’s not a London summer till I’ve had my first dip in the Hampstead ponds, and watched the sun set against the spire of St Mary’s in Stokie.
First look at Tate Modern’s Frida Kahlo exhibition. It’s engaging and interesting but boy does it tail off with a lot of ‘inspired by’ filler. And it doesn’t hold a candle to the Tate’s 2004 exhibition.
Went and saw Backrooms yesterday. Creepy and very enjoyable. So many nods to German Expressionism in the aesthetic, both painting and film. It also confirmed that my least favourite colour is yellow.
Je suis allé en France ce week-end. J'ai rencontré un escargot magnifique. 🐌
Sting’s gone out of the day at last. Might even have the energy to fix a drink.
The bloke on the Moretti can is rocking quite the look. And in this heat.
Tolstoy on the phone to Chekhov. It’s like an idea for a Monty Python sketch. @lrb.co.uk
