Danielson Concert at the Luminaire

Finally Daniel, Chris and I met face to face after a long time of knowing a bit about each other through his Dad. We went to the Danielson concert in Kilburn (sounds like it’s in Yorkshire, but as you know it’s NW London) last night, armed with little cakes ping* had made for them when she saw

Stress is like asbestos

I’ve been experiencing a lot of stress lately. And like most people I always assumed that a good holiday shakes it off.

Firstfruits a big success!

We had a wonderful time at the firstfruits event. Everyone put in lots of effort to their stalls, and it was a very interesting, faintly anarchic atmosphere.

mrs ping* picks up the university baton

yes we’ve finally swapped places, and it’s now my turn to try and master the arts. I’m MA-ing at Queen Mary, moving on from History of Art to English Literature. I’m not sure what is more a shock to the system, the change of subject or just simply being a student again (I’ve read more
