When all else fails…….

Audiobooks rock.

Many are free.

We like free.

*****

Theres a time and a place.

*****

In the daytime you need eye candy right?

Ok perhaps when its bed time too but.

When all else fails…

U ACTUALLY CANT SEE MOST OF THESE THINGS COZ THEYRE CLOSING

ART ROUNDUP #bethnalgreen edition

 

Campoli presti : blake rayne… some words: barrels, wires, glassware, no boobs, a magazine, no willys, not actually sure if some of it had been taken off the walls coz it was closing or coz it was art.

#inaword: cool

 

Herald street: alexandra bircken… some words: limbs but no protruberances, trees, wires, cant remember

 

#inaword: provoking

 

Lovely maureen paley: keith arnatt… #somewords: none of the above, signs, salt no sugar

 

inaword: witty

 

Sometimes. With art. Its a mystery. You make ur own meaning. You have to be there. You should have been being more cultural.

 

Youve got to learn.

 

Love,

Harleyxx

 

Well u have.

HEROES AND VILLAINS

So.
Here goes.
We kicked off with Lenin.
There was a funny story of a policeman in a cupboard.
Then there was Cromwell.
Messy business.
Exhumed corpses.
Then there was someone i wasn’t really listening too cos i was playing on my phone.
Then there was John Wilkes who seemed a nice chap.
Womaniser with a big chin.
Love a funny guide.
She’s on the old audioboo.

*****

Then we got a bit distracted because there was a museum about the St John’s ambulance.

HEDGE UR BETS

So there was some art.

A new gallery.

The Pangolin.

It had pieces by famous people like Damien Hirst (he conceived the sharks to move) and sarah lucas.

*****

But best is having some food and some football with your dad.

Its funny going to the premier league which is epic… The noise.

After non league which is cheap but dull.

In the middle is lovely cuddly often rubbish @leytonorientfc which has bearable toilets, singing but slightly easier prices.

Hedge your bets?

Have lots of teams.

Then if one loses…

What? They all lost??

Quadruple depression.

But i went with my dad so it was still great.

*****

In the evening it is sometimes ok to watch the telly.

And even if your crushingly lonely if you have a clever staffy* and an i app you can play along with telly quizzes to make u feel 10% better.

Like million pound drop which is all…

Hedge ur bets.

See what i did there?

Love,

Colinxx

ARE

Are you middle class?
Without the resources to support it?
Are you stressed to buggery with this?

And #theestranged

Every two months ride a horse.
The most expensive hobby in the universe.
Worth it.
Bloody good exercise too if one has been satisfying ones loneliness, if not ones vegetarianism, with cake and kebabs.

love,

Harleyxx

Chewing gum

D) this was pretty sublimely excellent to. Layers. Korean. We met a lovely korean girl a few months back we played board games and dragged her round pretentious galleries. She was lovely and enthusiastic.

Shes in korea now.

Ho hum,

BUTT THE BUTT

QUESTION: What is more fun than watching sexually aggressive pigs* butt the butt of a farm girl in the company of 6 year olds?

ANSWER: Nothing on earth.

“He's trying to impress his girlfriend. She doesnt like it.”

Such thrills are available for free if you take you offspring to a city farm where they might say something gallingly poignant like:

“Ive never seen a real horse before.”

Or… “What is that pig doing?”

Seriously its sunday afternoon fodder. Nearly as good as playstation.

Love,

Harleyxx

*other sexually aggressive farm animals are available eg Turkeys.
