Thanks to everyone who came along to the lovely sunny Greenwich Park on Saturday. We were such stars, we were given a naval gun salute whilst waiting in Cutty Sark Gardens. After realising that Ken would probably take hours to arrive, we set off up the hill into the park. We sat on the grass and watched squirrels, illicit barbecues and women being pulled around in little carts. We talked about pigeon porn, gingerbread orgies, and a dog invaded the picnic and started licking someone's cherries. Over in the distance, three men were making a pop video. One looked a little like Moby, or maybe Michael Stipe. They tried to throw a big yellow balloon about, but it hovered in midair and blew off in the wrong direction. They stage-fought each other with umbrellas; we wondered if it was a Bulgarian spy training school. Eventually their balloon burst, so they had to make do with their umbrellas, and a guitar they took turns to strum tunelessly. My holiday in London made me want to come down to London all the time and do stuff like that *every* weekend. I mean, it's the BIG CITY! Many thanks to Ken for emailing you all about it when I couldn't post to the list, and Mark, Neil, Paul, James and Tara for coming along too. In London, I was staying with an old friend (who doesn't like B&S), in a wee basement flat somewhere between Brixton and Stockwell. Sitting on his sofa on my first evening, I looked around and took in the room. Over in the corner on the far side of the room was a big shelf bursting with CDs. I flicked my eyes over their spines, and saw one whose spine was mostly white with black writing, but with a small patch of green at one end. "Woo!" I thought, "this is going to be a good holiday." love xx Caitlin -- http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
