The weekend didn't really happen, so here's another old one, from the same day as this. Also, congratulations to Lloyd on getting married.

Sorry the riding photos have been a bit thin on the ground lately. Here's one from back when I was living in Essex; me riding, photo by Nathan, one of the locals. Plans are afoot for the weekend so hopefully some kind of imagery will come of them…

During the last week I've moved to London properly, and used the opportunity to visit Reading this weekend for a little party action.

At work we've been doing a website for Together, a climate change charity. Their current campaign is to get people making draught-excluding snakes, like this one by textile designer Donna Wilson. I took a whole load of photos of said snakes; this one ended up accompanying a piece in the Metro (October 20th, p.19).

According to Wikipedia this guy is a revered ”street“ magician. While I don't claim to be especially ”streeet” myself, card tricks are about as ”street“ as playing Scrabble. Which made it even funnier when he fucked up most every trick he tried, and his own film crew wouldn't play back the tape to prove him ”right“. Pretty sure the full story/footage will be on Aversion soon.
