there are moments and moments. we embrace the stillness in time. London has still places. you need to seek them out. gather them. hold them in frame. let the fluidity of life past you by. focus on the ticking of the clock. the drip of a tap. time stilled.

it would be errant of me not to mention an experimental film screening tonight at @allgoodbookshop.co.uk from 7pm. a couple of films directed and written by my daughter. i’ve seen them and they are thought provoking and original. well worth a view if you get a chance.

I’m posting this as I think this is a good picture of me. as you get older you notice the growth of neck lines, bags under the eyes, a jaw line not so iron. so to have a good pic of you is good. especially no filters and gizmos. and in a well known theatre bar. what a combination.

my party hero
A 42-year-old British male arrested after organising a party at his local Jobcentre

The incident unfolded during normal working hours when the man is said to have encouraged visitors and friends to treat the jobcentre as a social gathering. Witnesses reported loud music played from portable speakers, people dancing in the waiting area, and alcohol being openly consumed while staff attempted to continue appointments.
