Maida Vale tube station has been turned in to a garden. They had been asking people to donate their unwanted plants, so that they could win the best tube station award, and I think they’re on to a winner. On the topic of gardens, our hanging baskets have started to bloom.

I interviewed the awesome Gala Darling for the new issue of Snippets, which is almost complete and should be out soon. I’ve been listening to calming sounds of the ocean on my iPhone to help me sleep, but every now and again there’s a loud wave crashing on the rocks, which wakes me up.

Duncan came to visit for a night this week and we got to introduce him to most of our neighbours. Also, we finally made it to London Stone (it’s only open in the week because it’s in the City). It has awesome tacky gothic decor and is filled with business men. We had two of the Seven Deadly Sin Cocktails – Sloth & Envy.

Tom got me some early birthday presents, including this awesome mini sewing box and a London Roller Girl’s roller skate necklace from Tatty Devine. I’m secretly hoping someone buys my a real pair.
