Seen this poor impaled bear at a bin in Loughborough Junction on my way to work this morning. What happened to #love ...

Or was it two years ago, anyway ...

Some evening light effect at The Shard , London (audio muted)

I think having ' The people's Fridge' is such a great way to help our neighbours. This is located in Popup Brixton. Anyone can leave food in the fridge or take it out. Not enough people know about this!

Quince crumble time soon

For those of you living in the area, many of those spots in Pink Floyd's first foto session in 1967 might look familiar

Some photos following the Grand Union Canal from Watford to Hanwell Locks. It's a long and nice walk, though some parts south of Uxbridge are a bit boring ( mainly because you follow the canal through a modern industrial estate ). For whoever might want to do this walk: This is a proper 8 hours walk ( or more if you make longer breaks ), so be prepared.

Photos contain an alligator, a chopped off hand, a giant gorilla ( if you can spot it ) and breakfast tea.

Some impressions from walking along the River Wandle from West Croydon to Wandsworth, and I think the bird on photo no 5 is an Egyptian goose.

Dulwich Woods, possible signs of a Blair ( or rather Dulwich ) Witch, Cox Bridge ( old railway bridge in the woods ) and a pond.

Old entrance to the "High Level Crystal Palace Subway", dinosaurs ( or what the victorians thought thye looked like ) and the "Italian Terraces ( or what the victorians thought was Italian )

I still think he deserves more attention and most people do not even know what that building is.

I visited the opening of the new show at Brixton 336 Gallery on brixton Road yesterday, "Another Funny Turn" by Sarah Cockings & Harriet Fleuriot. For those interested in art installations I highly recoomend to visit the show.

I love how they work with materials and light, the whole thing is certainly a bit trippy and has a touch of Dada (I mean, who pins an inflatable, rotating sofa to a wall?). I am normally not a big fan of video screenings in exhibitions but this was one of the few times I felt it really fit in with the theme.

The opening yesterday was packed with people.

The show runs until 14th June , open Thursday – Saturday 12-6pm.
