AMBITION

I have big ambitions for this blog… Really it should be entitled…

‘Harley’s Guide to Life’ but I’m not that pompous, arrogant or self centred.

‘Harley’s Guide to London’ for now.

There are so many amazing things to do in London, especially if you are a Staffordshire Bull Terrier with a predeliction for the arts and volunteering.

There are also wonderful organisations doing wonderful things.

The Dogs Trust is a wonderful organisation. They never put a healthy dog down.

I volunteer as a dog walker at their smart West London kennels…

… …

I’m a dog…

Not sure this makes… Sense… …

In for a penny…

They have lots of Staffies and greyhounds etc needing lovely homes and I’m always amazed by the wonderful temperament of their dogs. They must do incredible work with them. Walked a wonderful cutie Rottweiler called Hudson…

We are breaking down breed misconceptions me and him…

Later this week I hope to review Aligheiro Boetti at Tate Modern.

 

Love,

Firmer

Life affirming.

But in a different way to The Muppets.

A very different way. Watched some very challenging films about illness @tate modern.

Colin felt a bit queasy but I’m made of firmer stuff.

The director was there, Barbara Hammer and she did the q and a on us.

Bit cheeky and some people got v emotional in there response to films depicting chemotherapy, epileptic seizures and dancing with skeletons.

It was interesting, provocative and powerful but perhaps went a bit to far as artistic types can do.

I live with Colin, I know what I’m talking about here.

Before the films we went to the Sherlock Holmes museum and there was waxworks and stuff.

So if you’re in N8 and you see a staffy with a deerstalker and an increased awareness of issues surrounding mental health and mortality…

That’ll be me.

Love,

Harleyxx
