Queuing
The bus stop outside East Finchley station heading north is where I always catch the 263 bus home. It is not like other London bus stops of which there must be thousands. Here, passengers waiting for the bus queue in a civilised order. Even having grown up in a very ‘English’ household where manners mean everything, theContinueContinue reading “Queuing”
Tracey Emin: A Fortnight of Tears
6th Feb- 7th Apr 19, White Cube Bermondsey Tracey Emin’s ‘A Fortnight of Tears’ show at the White Cube in Bermondsey is a highly personal and intimate experience.

Nail salon meeting, measurement taking and contractor quotations
After completing my interior sketch for the salon and presenting to the client last week, she advises she would contact me again soon. On Saturday she confirmed she wants to proceed with the design, over the course of a few months as she does not have all of the budget. I confirmed my meeting withContinueContinue reading “Nail salon meeting, measurement taking and contractor quotations”
