Valentine's pillar box topper
Appropriately enough this was photographed on Valentine's Day. It was in Hotham Road.
This is a recent tradition, based on the Yarnbombing tradition. Anonymous knitters decorate post boxes with topical themes.
He met Hardy in a house near where I live in #putney . There is a plaque commemorating this.
Met up with the old band-mates and had some food and watched some of those new younger bands that they have these days that haven't become jaded and sour and broken up yet.
In an old 60-year-running venue in south London: The Half Moon. Apparently it's fairly well known, but not by me. Never been there before. It's the very very opposite side of town and nearly 90 minutes journey away.
Missed most of Magerison, who had the coolest looking bass player of the night, but otherwise had the proper warm-up slot I think.
Bowen were symmetric and energetic and among their set played an old Blondie song, despite none of them being anything like old enough to know what it means to have a phone booth across the hall. They looked great with the two dark-haired guitarists flanking the blonde girl in the middle.
It felt like she was looking at me the whole time. Is it like those paintings that stare at you wherever you stand? Did I have a mark on my face? Was her mum standing behind me?
It was brilliant anyway and I love her now.
If you can figure out how to do that in your show for everyone in the audience then I'd recommend that as a technique.
We finished with "Moody", surely the most ungoogleable name for a band ever who should sack whoever named them. She did some good screaming and emoting, and the band had paid attention to choreography nicely, but in a way that my band would have just found embarrassing.
And indeed that did seem to put off my ex-guitarist who complained about them looking too flashy. 
I have not left the house for way too long, and it was good.

The Boeing 737 of electric buses! (Nobody hurt)
Putney High Streer earlier today. It was a dull grey day. Dreich we would say in Scots. I zoomed in and turned up the colour. All the colour was there, I simply boosted it. The red to the left is a number 93 London ’bus. I got a front seat upstairs. Like flying up Putney Hill and along Parkside to Wimbledon Village! It brings out the child in me but also the curmudgeon.
@irisRichardson Weekends are prime #FarmersMarket time in #Vermont (though many towns hold them on week days) through October, which are a great way to explore both #art and #food. I'm especially fond of the ones in #Brattleboro (south east), #Burlington, and #Shelburne (north west). Tons of galleries and studios accessible in the larger towns/cities, of course. (I'm most familiar with Brattleboro, #Putney, #BellowsFalls, #Waterbury, #Stowe, #Middlebury, Shelburne, Burlington, Winooski.)
Well, I’ve never seen the #BoatRace live but seeing as I’ve just moved to the edge of #Putney, I think I’ll stroll on down to the river today to see what all the fuss is about.
Apparently the Half Moon Pub is the place to be.
By the way, isn’t amazing that #Oxford and #Cambridge always reach the final?
