In my studio, the current background-TV viewing is flipping between Greys Anatomy and Killing Eve - most confusing at times
Sadly Europe needs an equivalent service to California’s online wildfire map - extraordinarily detailed and updated constantly. We have friends who lost their studio in the Altadena fire, so I have experience of how accurate the system is. www.fire.ca.gov/incidents
A day spent under a bridge in Bermondsey. Haus Show Fest 6 stages, 3 days, about 80 bands!
True! Also.. we had one of Dieter Roths’ “Pocket Room” (1969): a multiple with a slice of banana tacked to a rubber-stamped piece of paper in a sealed plastic box. It didn’t last long. Trying to find a photo AI asked-Would you like to explore other famous fruit-based conceptual artworks?
A proud day, Dr Jennifer Lee, (my darling wife) Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh. Honorary Doctorate
They probably thought it looked good on the computer screen and in the boardroom, but once put on a player and running around, it does look truly dreadful. I bet they didn’t test it out.
So good - my favourite is this Waldorf Astoria one, although they’re all amazing
He was still there in the evening! Like 100s of other locals we went down to show some Peckham love and support and buy a bunch of stuff. Still a slight smell of smoke and a lovely guy had to use a torch to find stuff for us.
Feeling sorry for anyone on this monstrosity of a bus - not fit for purpose #heatherwick
My studio in our terraced 1870 London house was a steamy 32 C today but our cellar was 23 C - feels like a chilled cabinet!
Rather poignant- was in an empty Coach & Horses yesterday, the day Norman died
Watching Marcus Wareing in his Provence cookery programme - dissing British bread is just lazy TV
I got to know Aglaia at the Oxford Food Symposium and had the pleasure to do the artwork for her delicious Greek menus, twice. So kind and what a smile - we'll miss you, Aglaia.
For those of you wondering why anyone would see Big Thief three nights in a row … unforgettable.
New London bus - the display screen actually shows the bus is stopping and what time it is at the same time! Small miracles, eat your heart out Thomas Heatherwick. Enough for a wheelchair and two modern buggies too, and USB sockets
Some interesting design too, I particularly liked the Veeraswamy type on the 1947 menu
British politics! Maybe a knowing person could suggest which daily episode of Yes Minister we should be watching as a bit of analysis to today’s events.
I do like restaurants that have a dish of the day published on the menu… Ravi Shankar 1st image, Diwana 2nd.
@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social BBC and other mainstream news media continue to fail us. I get better analysis from a The Office social media meme.
