A small detour on the Old Chelsea walk. An interesting window display - a very simple light and mirror set-up which creates a fabulous abstract and all sorts of optical illusions.

I've always had a hankering to get a tattoo, but liking neither pain nor needles, I've avoided taking the plunge. I also couldn't decide what shape to have. Georg has a new tattoo on his trigger finger and I might…

I hate housework and things have to be desperate before I'll do my own, so what on earth possessed me to do some cleaning at the gallery? I think it might be because we are not expecting 100 guests, including…

It is unseasonally mild for October and the last thing on my mind is Christmas. But I know Twig likes all things festive 365 days a year, so @Twig - this one's for you!

There are so many empty restaurants around, but not nearly as many shops. My search continues.

I think the builders are going to start camping on site! They've been here for a few weeks now and I still can't get used to faces appearing at the window throughout the day.

Now if we're looking for additions to Britain's worst places, Stroud has to be a contender. This shopping centre used to be a vibrant busy place, where, as teenagers, we used to hang out on Saturday afternoons. Not any more…

Another in the series of Britain's worst places as I follow in the footsteps of Tim Moore. He thought Barry Island didn't deserve such a title and from previous trips there, I would agree. Not today, though. Grotty weather, grotty…

Autumn has arrived - bit depressing weatherwise to think that summer has gone, but I always enjoy the autumn light (when it's not grey and drizzly, that is).

A trip to the doctor with the elderly relative took up a large proportion of the day. As he didn't have an appointment, we had to wait and wait and wait. It seems that half the county has this nasty…

'Not more grapes', I hear you cry. But these are special grapes for they are on our very own vine and it's the first crop we've had. I reckon we have enough to make 3 bottles of wine, so it's…

A trip to Battersea Park. All sorts of interesting sculptures and ponds and things. This is in the Festival Garden, which has changed a lot since my last visit - when I was about 5 and there was a funfair…

Not normally one for shooting squirrels, I thought Squirrel Nutkin made a bit of a change from the usual array of crosses and angels.

Artangel - Daniel Silver's Dig. Lots of bits of sculpture that overall give the feeling of an archaeological dig. Interesting concept and worth a visit, even if just for a bit of head-scratching. However, in these times of belt-tightening, I…
