I'm happy because I suck
'allo Guvna! Moi name's 'Enry and Oi SUCK.
'Enry and I went at it on Saturday, the day of chores. He was so happy about it though. I want to keep him out and use him EVERY DAY!
We forgot to clean this mirror though. Dir'y in'it guvna?
P.S. those are my rockin vintage 70's mirrored aviator style sunglasses I'm sporting. All the better to see you with, my dear. More like all the better to pose with on Brick Lane my dear. The area up by Bethnal Green reminded me of W'burg a little. Also the Mission District in SF. It wasn't bad. I could live in that area. Found some spots. Spitalfields/Shoreditch are within walking distance to Beige.
I'm torn between that area in the East End and an area by the Thames near where the Hammersmith Palais used to stand. I am gung ho for doing the following things when I move here, one of which is to join a boxing gym, the other is to join a rowing club. There is a rowing club based in Furnival Gardens, which is close to Hammersmith. I found some nice Studio flats close to Furnival. If I live in Shoreditch, he boxing gym idea will stay but rowing will be out. Also, I can tell that what that area has to offer may undermine my attempts at a new and improved healthful lifestyle.
Part of this move is an attempt to shake things up a bit. Despite what you may hear about the drinking habits here in the Jol, when you have to make sure you're on a tube by midnight because a cab will cost you an arm and a leg, you just naturally curtail your imbibement. I learned that relatively quickly. It's been like two weeks of rehab. . . in a good way. I can actually sit and enjoy ONE glass of wine or ONE beer, instead of packing it in for a session. The other thing is that I am actually unwilling to go pubbing alone. I already spoke about the tendency for people to pair up here. The last thing I'm doing is hitting a neighborhood pub without some kind of cover. And since I don't have the time or energy to figure out what my cover is, I will just stay away unless I'm with friends. Well, I needed an excuse to retrain myself and reset my my habits back to 0 anyway.
Alright, off to Hammersmith/Furnival Gardens/Ravenscourt to assess the suitability of the hood. I will leave you with this:

I'm sorry, I can't get over "a lion in your lap, a lover in your arms". What more could you want?

hi gg! Yeah, that was the first time I'd been exposed to banksy. It's up my alley, as they say. Wait, who says? What?
Hope all is well.

There was an installation over the weekend which I didn't see but one of my co-beigers did. The murals are still up but the other pieces have been taken down. I may try to get photos later this week.
