into the woods

even in one of the hottest summers in london it is still cool in the woods and sammy doesn't seem to mind going for a little walk in the evening, when the scent from the wild herbs is just so fresh and enticing, who could resists... and look who too tried a little bareback...

mbv last night at southbank

huii, one for the ears... asked about it, i think i said it was an experience, but call me old-fashioned, i like the songs, so a tiny little downturn on the volume and we could have actually heard them rather than this slightly overwhelming jet engine in the room... BUT i loved 'slow' and 'only shallow'... btw the guy from dinosaur jr was in the audience...

Set List: New You - New Song 1 - You Never Should - Honey Power - Cigarette in Your Bed - Only Tomorrow - Come in Alone - Only Shallow - What You Want - Thorn - Nothing Much To Lose - Who Sees You - To Here Knows When - Slow - Soon - Wonder 2 - Feed Me With Your Kiss - You Made Me Realise 

goodbye to our dean

sad moment when we heard that our arts&humanities dean, russell, is leaving the post to continue with his research and also pursuing a second strand as a priest in the church of england. BUT his leave party on the roof terrace of bush house made for a beautiful evening high above the city, and as so often at this time of the year, london simply glistened. more pics to follow, but for starters here is a nice one with some of my lovely colleagues... 

and another conference...
