The community group the Darkwood Crew held its first “Walk about a bit” for kids and adults alike. The first 1k group lead by Karen and the second 3k group where lead by Demi, who where both from the Pals of the Privies community group. While I fallowed Terry from the Darkwood crew whose 5K walk ringed Ferguslie park while trying to avoid the main roads for safety and where I shoot these photos before heading back to the green. Here we had lunch, played bingo as the kids bounced around in the inflatable castles and all had a great time…

This year, the Pavilion on the lawn by The Serpentine Gallery, in Hyde Park is designed by the French Architect, Jean Nouvel, his.first completed building in the UK
This Building is Red, very Red.
It features a strange French notion of naming something that did not need to be named in order to draw attention to that thing, thereby giving it more meaning and more substance than would otherwise be given This began thirty years ago with, Le Bag, and Le Shirt, and Le Boutique, and Le Car, from Renault. This fad caught on and let's face it certainly contributed to the notion of Le Pretentious Prat, or what Monty Python would call, "Le stating of le bleeding obvious".
Jean Nouvel has revived this tradition by naming the sky, and the colour of the Building Red and what compliments that colour, le colour of the Kensington Gardens, Green.
Voila!
My Spanish art teacher despised unnecessary signs, and hieroglyphics regarding them all as Fascistic. He was particularly offended by and indeed removed Heath and Safety notices like "Do not use the Fire Bucket" for example. "Do not" was not in his vocabulary.
Years later I was asked to design about thirty shops for an oil company. These would be convenience stores attached to Petrol Filling Stations. I received my brief at the height of the Le Bag spin-off craze, I was asked to provide a large shopfront sign board, simply saying just one word, "SHOP" in 1 metre high letters.
In the spirit of my Spanish Art Teacher, Erasmo Fernandez who I loved, and at risk of losing my commission. I let my feeling be known to my employer.
"Surely, we can all see that it is a Shop," I dared suggest.
Naturally, I compromised and gave them exactly what they wanted in the interest of paying my Gas bill.
In due course that company were declared Les Bankrupt of ideas and they no longer exist.
Nevertheless the Pavilion is splendid and deserves a visit.

Succisa pratensis Moench, syn.: Scabiosa succisa L., Succisa praemorsa Asch.
EN: Devil's-bit Scabious, Devil's-bit, DE: Gewöhnlicher Teufelsabbiss, Wiesen-Abbisskraut, Abbisskraut
Slo.: travniška izjevka
Dat.: June 10. 2008
Lat.: 45.84361 Long.: 14.26548
Code: Bot_270/2008_DSC9145
Habitat: Karst field, moist grassland; flat, frequently flooded terrain; open place, full sun, average precipitations 1.600 - 1.800 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 445 m (1.450 feet), Dinaric phytogeographical region.
Substratum: soil.
Place: Planinsko polje (Planina fields) near village Planina, Notranjska, Slovenia EC.
Comment: Succisa pratensis is widely distributed but not quite common Euro- West-Asian floral element. It can be found from plains to subalpine elevations and is at home in all European mountains (Ref. 4). It can be found scattered almost in the whole Slovenia.
Yet, Succisa pratensis is consciously relatively infrequently encountered. There seem to be two reasons for that. First: it is predominately bound to its preferred habitat - wet grassland, a habitat, which is relatively rare and gradually disappearing. Second: superficially it is quite similar in appearance to several truly widespread and common (and therefore of little interest) grassland plants pertaining to "widow flowers" (genus Knautia) and "scabious" or "pincushion flowers" (genus Scabiosa). Many of them are of similar habit and shape of their inflorescence - heads and color of flowers. Only a closer examination makes distinguishing Succisa pratensis from other similar plants easy. It has only four petals in the individual flowers (four lobed flowers) in contrast to others, which have five petals (five lobed flowers) and its stalk leaves are opposite not alternate. It is interesting that there exist two types of these plants. Some have flowers with stamens and pistils (bisexual flowers), others have only female flowers having pistils only.

I'd spent a bit of time watching this guy draw other people in the cafe in his sketchbook, something that I like to do, too. He didn't see me take this.
I spent a good part of the day, whenever I got too tired of walking, reading a book at this cool cafe at the Old Truman Bakery. They had really good food - a grill out front where I got a burger, potato wedges and a grilled ear of corn on the cob - plus coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and salads. The space is a converted warehouse. A lot of people sat around on cushions on concrete ledges.
Little bits of the homewares collection I did earlier this year via HMS Carousel for Urban Outfitters are beginning to trickle into stores for the holidays!
Also available online!
Also coming soon: wall hangings, end tables, cute ceramic kitchen canisters and more! Yay!
It was also kind of a perfect way to revive this ill-fated series of PA dutch inspired tee graphics from a few years ago! Ha!

Bit of a mystery this one. The registration number came to this car in 2000, it originally belonged to a 1962 3.8 litre Coupe, that car is now registered FSL 776.

Bit of a hairy landing for this NWA Airlink CRJ-900 (N922XJ is flown by Mesaba for Northwest) as it lands on one main. Landings like this weren't all that unusual this particular day. At one point the wind got so bad that flights were electing to hold in hopes of the wind dissipating. It wasn't unusual to see 15+ aircraft all in line waiting to take off on 31L.
Bit more for the collection, big thanks to Kitty and Phu for the vinyl.
And big shots to Mr Ortic Noodles for the canvas.
