searching for obscure northern soul sevens, the psychogeography of London, drinking beer with my friends, conceptual art, pots of earl grey tea beside the Serpentine watching the new moorhens learn to swim, socialism, routemaster buses, Tottenham Hotspur FC, secrets, greasy spoons, looking up coquettishly from beneath a messy fringe, kisses, laughing with my whole body,'lectro-pop, talking to cats, laughing at monkeys, french movies, russian novels, british sitcoms, spy chic, animals falling over, girls with guitars, letters, rolling down primrose hill in the sunshine and then giggling 'til I'm sick and dizzy, local newspaper headlines, brie, the smell of apple blossom after it rains on a hot day, badges, homemade tee-shirts, freckles, looking in the mirror, cigarettes, vodka and diet Dr Pepper, unrequited love, nostalgia, snowball fights, dancing badly but unfettered, Francoise Hardy, lips, hips, pub cricket, the work of Sebastian Brennan, Tony Benn, the post office tower, picnics, my friends, introspection, staying up all night even if I've got work in the morning, standing in positions relative to the sun that mean my shadows 'head' appears to have two daisies for eyes. holding hands, The Faltering Fullback, taking electronic things apart and trying to make them play music, mozzarella, coriander, nail-scissor fringes, hiding things, finding things, old things, shiny things, overhearing snatches of other peoples conversation, making you laugh, strolling along the South Bank by moonlight, large bodies of water, libraries, working out how conjuring tricks are done.
