People are apparently out tonight painting the town red with wild abandon. arkady and Freda and I are in painting the house tired. We have done not a whole lot today except a huge food delivery and herding the toddler, who has been a major trouble source. Said toddler has collapsed asleep on mum and so we're sitting around basking in doing bugger-all and running out of Internet.

I got paid yesterday and have spent yesterday and today and will be spending tomorrow buying and paying off things. When we're out of money, I get to wait another month. Yay!

The job continues to be interesting. My boss was off stripping wallpaper the last two days, so I got a gentle introduction to the deep end. The office tech wiki contains just a bit more important information now.

Save the Foundry !!!


It is crappy outlets like this (of which their are already too many in Shorditch) that are causing the decline of a once good area. Even for the tourist trade they don't work, people don't come into an area to look at a Starfucks.

The Foundry is a unique local boozer and should be kept at all costs !

I don't like the destruction of the Foundry, and I think it's out of keeping with the area. However, the hotel design itself is pretty fab, and would be great somewhere else.

That's no choad, that's Beaker!

It would go well in an industrial wasteland.

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

We'll have to agree to disagree, then, cos I think it's rather impressive.

It would be great in an area with a lot of other tall buildings, and a lot of glass. It looks like something one might find in the business district of Boston or somewhere like that.

Hmmm, maybe, but in the artist's drawings it looks like some sort of bunker or giant air shaft.

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

Mm, air shafts.

Sometimes.
