#HIGHTIDE: the #Thames is still tidal at this point, a few hundred metres from #TeddingtonLock, and flooding from the non-stop rain the last week is widespread. Next picture shows the #river has breached its bank. #landscape #flooding #london #richmond

CHRISTMASDAY | Wednesday, December 25, 2019

10:28 PM

#CHRISTMASDAY: Saw Nick from @anglers.tw11 a couple of weeks ago and he suggested we stop by after he finished work today, so we wandered over to see him and walk the dog. Lovely day. And stopped at the #BMX track nearby in #HamLands on the way back. So lucky. Merry Christmas Ye Sapiens, whenever you are. #london #richmond #lucky

MAKERLAB | Saturday, December 21, 2019

#MAKERLAB: Ian chats with Ian. Both of these fine folks helped me fix my little project. I am always impressed with the knowledge and kindness of everyone at #richmondmakerlab. The details are outstanding. Ian on the left told me tales from his past of repairing CD Players as I was attempting to restore one myself, and his tip about blobs if solder being used in transit to protectively short the circuit came in handy later that evening when I had to detach a zero-ohm resistor on an SSD1322 display. Best #Makerlab in #London. #makers

MADNESS | Sunday, December 15, 2019

#MADNESS: supporting themselves with some classics from the 1970s. Even better live than on record. They’ll be back for the main act! #pastpresentfuture #gig #camden #nuttyboys #onestepbeyond #london #nw5

#HELLISROUNDTHECORNER: but I’m not sure #Tricky was referring to the junction of Charing Cross Road and Cranbourn Street. #london #leicestersquare #christmascrowds #westend #citylab

AVA | Tuesday, December 10, 2019

#AVA: a fairly triumphant gig from @avawavesmusic proving that one of their biggest problems is conveying their energy in their imagery. Astonishing response from the crowd. Love the MOTH club, new favourite tiny venue, beautiful music and snagging a table too. #avamusic #gig #london #hackney

LEAKESTREET | Monday, December 9, 2019

2:44 AM

#LEAKESTREET: 1. the weekend it opened, the Leake Street Tunnel was a powerhouse of cultural critique and art. It has since become little more than an etch-a-sketch for graffiti, with each new piece covering the last, but let us look back at the weekend of May 3-5 2008. #maythefourthbewithyou #banksy #streetart #london #leakestreettunnel #citylab

ELECTRICSIX | Sunday, December 1, 2019

12:59 AM

#ELECTRICSIX: one of the few bands who you can see without knowing any of their songs and still have a good night, verified by @kailryu. Banging night, legs hurting from the mosh pit, crowd instructed to sit down before rising to go mental. Simply Outstanding support from @theloungekittens too. We must do more of this sort of thing. Only two more gigs left this year… #gig #london
