Holland Park never fails to cheer me up on a dull day in London.

We didn’t have too much to do on Saturday, so we avoided the busy shops and headed for peace and quiet (with sushi and whoopie pies) in the Kyoto garden.

Within 5 minutes of sitting on a bench, we were surrounded by wildlife. The squirrels sat between us on the bench, eating peanuts straight from the bag.

This video made me laugh. The pigeon knocked all the peanuts off the bench but the squirrel managed to collect them all.

This is going to be my new sewing project, so I’m on the hunt for white & blue striped linen and big metal buttons, if anyone knows where I can find some?

Today we took part in a Facebook competition, where Tom, Tony and I made an application for sharing projects on CO+K which are tagged with things like Twilight, Hello Kitty or Lady Gaga with your Facebook friends who like those things. Mark Zuckerberg (the 26-year-old billionaire who started Facebook) had just flown in from San Francisco and we got to show him CO+K, which he really liked and then do a presentation about our application. Awesome news, we won the competition and tomorrow we’re presenting our idea live on the internet to thousands of people… scary!
