weekend stuff




saturday morning and the breakfast was looking good
pineapple, grapes, yoghurt and honey.
a latte each and a fresh orange juice to share
while we read the papers and looked out over sunny n7.


we caught a bus to the tate modern where i took this shot of
me and jackie.
i am wearing the t-shirt released for the re-opening of the london bapestore.
trousers by minotaur ( only available at their shibuya pop-up store last year )
and oki-ni edition snakeskin adidas superstars...
just incase you were wondering.


after a while at the tate, we crossed the road to grab some brunch
at the table. feeling more peckish than somewhat, i ordered up
eggs benedict with an extra portion of pork and leek sausages.
what a schoolboy error !

i forgot to tell the waitress that i didn't want any salad, and there it was...
salad everywhere spoiling the whole meal.
i was in a foul mood now... glaring at the ruined dish and wondering if i could
send it back. jackie told me to 'man up' and tentatively i picked away at 
the food trying not to touch all the nasty green stuff.

well i did pretty well. the eggs ben, bacon, sausage and muffin were
excellent.

but i left all the salad...
that was a close one !


the coffee at the table is pretty strong so i just ordered a normal latte.
last time i ordered one with an extra shot and i didn't sleep for 3 days
this was perfect.


today ( sunday)  i decided to bring into play a pair of kicks i bought
in tokyo in 2008.
they are made by a japanese company called 'madfoot'
and i bought them not only because i knew that they would
go perfectly with any pair of trousers, but because they don't sell them
in the uk... ( probably a good reason for that - ed )

hmmm...


we took a trip to fernandez and wells and although i really fancied
a chorizo and cheese sandwich, for some reason when i was asked
what i wanted, the words 'chelsea bun' came out of my mouth.
the chelsea bun then went into my mouth and it was surprisingly
good. shame i didn't have my tape measure with me as i'd like to
have made a note of the dimensions of the thing... next time perhaps ?

on the coffee front i decided that i needed more than a stumpy so
i opted for a regular latte.
as ever, fernandez and wells delivered a perfect coffee.

then it was back to whitfield towers to edit a big shoot i did on friday
and to listen to chelsea's season collapsing against stoke city...

or maybe not.

  2. well spotted. i did let my guard down a little while in the kitchen, and i apologise for my behaviour.

    i will do my utmost to prevent such facial expressions being published on this blog in the future.
