#KRISHNACASTLE: Episode 1. Spent the day repainting the kitchen as a thank you for feeding so many of the #extinctionrebellion. The half-man-half-lion incarnation of Lord Krishna, #Nrsimhadeva, greets visitors as they come down the ramp. #london #harekrishna

Repainting Krishna's Castle

During the Autumn rebellion - Extinction Rebellion, that is - Krishna’s Castle fed tens of thousands of people every day. They’re wonderful, and in return the call went out for volunteers to help refurb their kitchen over a couple of weekends in November. Plenty of us heeded the call, I took some snaps in between bouts of painting and before I was whisked upstairs to cook for the other volunteers myself.

They’re based in the heart of London, under everyone’s noses, and you can find out more about them here.

#CAMELMILK: is a thing, in the shops, here. I did not know this. Your humble correspondent does not get on with milk, else this post would not be ending here. #london

#THAMES: love a foggy morning, especially when I have a camera handy. ‘Hamme’ in older English means ‘bend in the river’ and this is quite the right-hander here on the way to the station. Good morning. #richmond #visitrichmond #river #foggy #london

#MORETHEATRE: #MasterHaroldAndTheBoys / if you can stand the first two-thirds of this, it just about redeems itself in the end. Or have yourself a little nap and set a quiet buzzer to wake yourself up after an hour and change, like our seat neighbours did. Good stuff from #LucianMsmati and #HammedAnimashaun but @donmarwarehouse wins today’s double bill against @nationaltheatre #london

#THEATRE: #AliceBirch is truly fabulous, and #Blank is a monster of a play, 100 scenes allowing the director to choose. #CleanBreak is a “company working with women affected by the criminal justice system”. Apologies to @rjcrookshank but the ticket was hard to turn down! #london #donmarwarehouse

#RICHMOND: bumped into my pal Tom, so we walked along the river, slipping and sliding on the silt left behind from high tide. #thames #london #river
