i love this perpetual calendar from upon a fold isn't it lovely...with the little wales....and not only can you change the date...you can also select the weather!

pre-mattress mattressland

before NW10 was filled with abandoned mattresses, pound shops and loud-speaker wielding god-botherers - it looked like this...

 

look...the Jubilee Clock...and my, how wide the road is without those horrid traffic lights...and in the distance...Park Parade where i live....and isn't it odd that it looks like everyone in the pictures are looking directly to camera...spooky.

nipple tassles

loving kate wilson's new little doodle

a single man

saw Tom Ford's A Single Man tonight ... TOTAL .... DESIGN ... PORN ....fabulous.  it was visually stunning, wonderfully moving and very sexy.  Colin Firth deserves the Oscar ...just for the dog-sniffing scene alone...beautiful.

along the grand union canal...

i took a leisurely stroll along the Grand Union Canal today...from Willesden Junction to Westbourne Park...it was pretty cold, and grey...but lovely...and i spotted several birds, cyclists, boats,2 men carrying a mattress (but sadly they were too far away to capture on the camera) and in the distance the wonderful Trellick Tower....

fair warning! (Railway Cottages, NW10)

 

Willesden Junction - Grand Union Canal - Trellick Tower

Kensal Green Library

old school canalside housing...beautiful

 

local wildlife
