Day 295: Good Space, Good Face

Not Steve Wheeler. At all. 

Well bugger me, it's been another peach of a day. A bit of a peach theme, actually. I was visited at lunchtime by my peach of a surname-sister, Emily Moon. That's her new surname. I was Judy Moon for nearly ten years. A long time ago, but I still have heaps of letters addressed to me as such. So, nickname nepotism aside, lovely, lovely Emily came for lunch at The Hub. We had the best dhal I've ever eaten, made by Emily and full of bright green peas, orange carrots and crunchy things. The salad had wonderful colours too - beetroot purple, tomato and pepper red, the green of the leaves and some crunchy passion fruit eyeballs... little sweet crunchy things. And, of course, peaches. Well, nectarines. A ripe, juicy nectarine cut into the salad. Angel-white cottage cheese with yellow pineapple. Assaulted in the eyes and the mouth - in a good way, of course. 

Not at all sexual.

Then we had a chat about the 21-day healthier living experiment thingy - the Tasty Autumn Experiment (www.facebook.com/events/471646916186486/). My friend William and I are setting it up. Emily's helping, with ideas, meetings, foody goodness, and she's going to do some of her brilliant art for it too. *

Not an actual tiger.

I saw this dog picture today. It made me laugh and it made me think of Victoria Sandison and Cristian Muscatello. Not because they're dogs. They're both very nice. But Cristian brought us the pug dressed as a pug and Victoria has photos of pugs in rollerskates, among other things.

Apart from that - nice people all day. I was less productive than I'd have liked to be, but I have been working like a rabid dog (all dribbly and mad-eyed) so I suppose it was just my gentle time. I'm refreshed for tomorrow. More happy rabidness tomorrow, and a chance to catch up with Rob Grundel, albeit at the stupidest time of day ever thought up, and hopefully we'll both get to see the man with the most moreish face in the whole world, Steen Haakon Hansen. 

Not my face.

And I had a very pleasing call with resident fox Steve Wheeler this weekend. I was pacing around Northfields Tesco at the time. It felt a bit incongruous. Steve and Tesco are not really a good match. But I'm excited by the conversation we had. Anyone know of a brilliant living working space for two or three people where we could make creative/bodyworking/space-filling magic happen? Please?
