The Early Birthday Continues...
December 23, 2005

Thanks everyone for the "surprise" gathering [well I had a bit of an idea] at Inigo last night and - the pressies - Hope I didn't put a dampener on things by being ill! Nice Festive lurgy someone's given me... Nice place anyway, must go again when I feel better.

I've just noticed that the Plane trees on the street outside still have some leaves left on them - Wonder if that always happens?

Just listening to the M.I.A. album while I try to muster up the energy to go out and finish my Christmas shopping. UK's Missy Elliott anyone? Part of my drunken online shopping purchases from Rough Trade the other night - Dangerous past time that! Tom Vek, Tom Russell and Devendra Banhart were the others.



Toyculture.com has commissioned exclusive rug designs from some Internationally famous urban and fine artists and produced a bespoke limited edition range of 100% woollen rugs. They can be purchased online or in person from Elms Lesters Painting Rooms, 1-5 Flitcroft Street, London, WC2H 8DH. They ain't cheap mind. The one above is £1350


Coalfield Stories

Photofusion
17a Electric Lane
London
SW9 8LA

I stumbled across the Photofusion Gallery, which I didn't know existed, and it's only a little way from me. To coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the end of the national miners strike and the demise of the pits, they are currently showing a selection of works from three of the Coalfield Stories landscape exhibitions, commissioned by Side Gallery. John Davies, Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen and Simon Norfolk have documented the post-industrial landscape of the Durham Coalfield area where the last pit closed in 1993. Sort of ties in with the Get Carter link the other day.

Infuriating little game for when everyone is back at work.
