Weekend continued…

This morning M announced he had a DIY project to do, all my friends were out of town, hung over, lost their voice or similar. The day turned out to be beautiful and warm so I grabbed my bike and went to Hyde Park.

First stop was at the Serpentine Gallery to see Jeff Koons: Popeye Series. No pictures allowed inside by I photographed the catalogue so here it is:

Parents seemed to enjoy showing their offsprings all those wonderful toys till they got to this image, kids heads were turned right away.

Afterward I had a stroll through the park along the pond, it seemed people were trying to catch the last bits of summer sunshine.

I have spent the afternoon on the common, next to my house, enjoying Nardulli’s super delicious ice cream and Generation X.

Left: strawberry sorbet and vanilla ice cream  Right: raspberry and mango sorbet

In the evening we went to the cinema to see Coco avant Chanel, at last! I loved the film, Audrey was wonderful and the cinematography stunning.

Back to life

First I got a horrible cold which knocked me out of action for the whole weekend. Then I was super busy with a project for the rest of the week, ending up on a shoot in a stinking burger joint in Yeading. Don’t ask me where it is, I still don’t know.

I feel like the last week was taken away from me and wasted. On top of it my very good friend was staying with us, she was in London on another shoot, and I hardly got to see her!

Anyway, it’s Friday today, can’t wait to go home and rest and eat healthily and just be.

In the mean time my new camera arrived from Scotland and looks like it has never been used, yay! I am now waiting for a memory card and then I will shoot away.

Have few films to watch (damn you Love Films for sending a film instead of the 3rd disc of Mad Men!), few items to go on ebay, I am going to see Coco with a friend on Saturday evening. Perhaps go for a walk in a nice green park with no mobile phone reception.

I also need to prepare for my trip next week, my first break this year, a small one too…
