Hose down

woke up today to our landlord and thom testing the smoke alarms. went into central after all that so people could buy paint and clothes and things. afterwards we came back and as our shower is currently broken (it started leaking through the floor below it) joe decided to have a hose down in the garden. it was hilarious and he pretty much went blue. hero.

later we had our second bbq of the week whilst donning our best shirts to add a spot of glamour to the occasion that was steak. my camera also decided to start displaying an er 99 message - fuck. anyone who owns a canon knows how worrying this is. its like being told i might have to have a hand amputated.

Wedding day

little girl holding flag #7053, outside dinner set up, laurens shoes, outside dinner drinks with added balance, barbecue garden, what england really looks like.

the royal wedding was horrible, it was hard to move around, an early start, and annoying because we didnt get a good spot and ended up comparing sneezes in hyde park. the afternoon was much better, good conversations, good food and good music that looks set to continue into the night. i think a trip into central is planned for tomorrow, however, the chances of me waking up on the brighter side of 12pm is a different matter entirely.

Hello again se15

and back up to london we went. the journey was hot and cramped but the mcdonalds halfway through and cougar spotting in chelsea made up for that.

came back to good old 171 and what seems like a massive monitor and clunky keyboard after using laptops for the past couple of weeks. took this on the way to asda to get milk and bread and pizza. mmm pizza.

royal wedding tomorrow, that should be chaotic.

Lidl

went to see dragon (granny) and grandad today. just had a nice chat about everything and heard all their funny stories of when our dad was young and the last time granny was drunk.

ive been wanting to go and take this photo of the new lidl in bridport for some time, i really really like those kind of white lights. so much more interesting than tungsten. also im going back to london tomorrow so i wanted to take it before i went back and forgot all about it.

looking forward to being back at 171 tomorrow and of course the best bit about going to or from london - a fleet mcdonalds.

posted merch orders today. later we celebrated charlies actual birthday, watched him open presents and messed about on spacehoppers. see joe above. birthdays when you're young are so much fun.

in other news, ive been thinking about maybe making a proper book of all the photos i take this year once its over, like a proper nice premium paper ridden art book. is this something people would be interested in?

going back to london soon in time to cover the royal wedding. i dont know how im even going to start planning that. apparently the westboro baptist church might be picketing, so i'll make sure im there at least.

Selfy

went to grandma and grandads for a bbq today, it was very hot, as was the weather... da dun crash

then we went to see dad. we had more food and i watched some bats flying about in his garden as it got dark. bats are my new favorite animals. i also took this self portrait in his bathroom mirror, i just liked the shape of the mirror and the blue and everything. it looks dated.

i think this is maybe the first actual self portrait of the project? i dont do them much. but yeah thats what i look like most of the time, otherwise im either looking at things or sleeping.
