penguin love

ever since reading the most excellent book Death and the Penguin by Andrey Kurkov a few years ago myself and Brussel sprout Katie Onbeschoft have had a bit of an obsession with the little fellas.

i feel like this when i see one....


i absolutely love Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers and Studio AKA's animated version shown on Channel 4 at christmas (at last something decent on the telly - please repeat it soon!!!)


i really want one of these KoKo lamps (http://www.kokodesign.it/)


spotted at a shop in Westbourne - which, by the way, is right opposite THE BEST fish + chip shop in the country, bar none.....Chez Fred's (http://www.chezfred.co.uk/) - so good the q's are always out the door (even for takeaway) unless you go mid-week during the day (and its still rammer jammer then). the food is lip-smackingly delish and very reasonably priced - the decor alone is worth a visit as the walls are lined with photos of various showbiz star regulars.
and they even do "moggy bags" - takeaway cod scraps for your cat (Boo, would not approve, only doggy bags please!).
