The British Museum & Other Stuff

Naked! They weren't shy back then were they?

How's it hangin'?

Does he nose something's missing?

On the way to the Barbican we pass through Lambs Conduit Street. This is the lovely window of Persephone Books

Hungry & tired. Time for Pizza Express.

This is what I always order - Sicilian lemonade + Padana pizza (Goats cheese, red onion, caramelised onions, spinach, garlic oil) yum

Then we walk to the Barbican centre. Note the Tesco bag. Someone used to call me 'the bag lady'.

Been meaning to take this shot for a while. Hot pink splashed paint near my flat, looks grrreat with the leopard!

Sweet Treat!

Thought I'd treat myself to a Panasonic LX3, been meaning to buy a quality point and shoot camera for a while, so after some research, I opted for this camera which is the twin sister of the delectable Leica D-Lux 4 but is way much affordable. They are practically the same and both highly recommended, so I went for the one I could afford. Though if I had money, looks-wise I would go for the Leica. Here are a couple of amateurish test close-ups, in low light and unedited, i'm still going through the manual aaarggh! Don't you just HATE manuals? Why can't it be simple, don't know about you but I have to read a sentence twice (sometimes thrice!) before it registers and I understand all the tech nonsense....


Pinhole effect

Birthday Bonanza

Just a couple of iPhone pics....
I like this picture in a weird way. It was taken in an old school Italian cafe called City Snacks on Theobalds Road. Awful food though, such a shame. We were talking about how sad that these old cafes are disappearing from London, but if they all serve bland and mouldy food like we were served at this place, well, it would be understandable. And yes, I said mouldy, I ordered the 'Soho Special' (chicken, spinach and swiss cheese), I realised after several bites why it was 'special' - the swiss cheese had mould growing on it, eek!

Burfday breakfast ooh la la.....

Cupcake bought by Craig from Beas, cappucino made by Craig. Over ripe bananas on the fruit plate, by Craig.

Beas of Bloomsbury

Mmmmnnn delightful vanilla passionfruit icing with blueberries cupcake. We stopped off at Beas for a coffee, plus it was raining outside, so why not. It stopped raining when we were inside, even the sun decided to make an appearance. Of course, when we left the cafe it started to rain. Wowee a whole post about the weather. I haven't blogged in ages, when I finally do it's mostly about the bloody weather. It's like when you haven't seen someone for a long time and you just bump into them in the street and it's a bit awkward, so you end up talking about the weather. Oh dear.
