you can't take anything for granted these days, not even 5 minutes of sunshine. maybe it's the trying to grow basil seedlings for the first time but i'm noticing more than other years that summer in london is really like watching a long film in a tinted glass steam room. waiting for the pimms punctuations, smiling in a sort of stupefaction, you imagine one day you'll be able to blog about the beauty of seeing colorful clothes hanging on lines as you take the train to work through west norwood. that maybe someone forgot to pick them up and they're getting sunbleached, and what about all those dried up derelict sheds and rusty fences, where do the thoughts go etc.… Read More
