I’m so sick of waking up too early all the time, regardless what time I fell into bed I inevitably wake up at 5.30 or 6.00 am on the dot. An unexpectedly sunny weekend resulted in dragging myself out the door for the Notting Hill Flickr meet. The route circled around Holland Park from Notting… Continue reading Last few days of sun
Month: September 2008
Southeast Asian Ingredients – Petai
Parkia speciosa (petai, twisted cluster bean, yongchaak, zawngtah or stink bean), is a plant of the genus Parkia in the family Fabaceae. It bears long, flat edible beans with bright green seeds the size and shape of plump almonds which have a rather peculiar smell, characterised by some as being similar to that added to… Continue reading Southeast Asian Ingredients – Petai
London Open House
Open House London, the Capital’s largest architectural showcase, is taking place on 20-21 September. This year’s event will once again reveal the fabric of London in all its diversity: opening eyes and minds to the architectural gems, contemporary design and areas of urban change that define the city today. I wasn’t too fussed about… Continue reading London Open House
Foodie weekend – Borough Market
I should really be catching up on work email, but the idea of spending a glorious sunny day inside did not appeal. When A suggested a visit to Borough Market I happily ran out the door without a second glance at my work laptop. I didn’t realise how large Borough Market was. Just a few… Continue reading Foodie weekend – Borough Market
Utata Thursday Walk
Thursday in Utata means Walking Day. So, put down your work, grab your camera, take a walk, and show us what you see. Which is exactly what I did. I packed my camera and took some shots on the way home, feeling a little disoriented by the clear blue skies. Not quite sure what’s wrong… Continue reading Utata Thursday Walk
Proms in the Park = surreal
The BBC Proms was something that needs to be experienced to be believed. My thought process when someone tried to explain it to me went something like this. Proms, but no a prom. Not the American version with drunk teenagers misbehaving in dark corners. Oh that could happen but under a giant British flag? Oh… Continue reading Proms in the Park = surreal
The Thames
Thames= pronounced tmz, though why on earth this is so escapes me. The Thames Festival was on during the weekend and I managed to pop in for part of it, not quite expecting how huge the festival was. We walked across from The London Eye to the Tate and barely scratched the surface of everything… Continue reading The Thames
Frock Camisole
Full day of photos from various events and too tired to go through them now. There is something I haven’t posted about for a while and that’s my knitting. I’ve started on this camisole about a month and a half ago, but it took longer than expected due to lack of free time. The pattern… Continue reading Frock Camisole
Silver lining
The week in review. Can’t sleep, lack of sleep, lost concentration, endless days blurring into negative days and no energy. Thank goodness it’s Friday and I will be in the city for work for Monday!
Southeast Asian ingredients – Kangkung
It seems like everyone in my flickr stream feature food in their weekend update. I’m not sure if there’s something in the air that requires comfort eating, but for me the weather is definitely making me rather peckish. Tonight is my turn to cook in our share household; something we do on a semi regular… Continue reading Southeast Asian ingredients – Kangkung
