clothesline in summer

i love living where i live...

my cat digs it*... my piano is happy*... and indeed is played by more people than me... which is perhaps a little odd for me on occasion but is a beautiful thing none the less...

(* - yes - i know... how do i know that the cat digs it or that my piano is happy? you just have to accept that i do know these things)

i like & indeed will come to love my housemates... all 3 of them... communal living was not something i was looking forward to after living on my own for awhile but ... certainly in this honeymoon period that we're living through... i'm digging it...

and in fact you can come see one of my housemates performing live tonight in the newcross... something... for free... 10ish... send me an email if you fancy it... the band is called United Vibrations... i'm going...

i also like that it took me 20 minutes to cycle to brixton tonight - (i'm once again waiting for refugee students to arrive at the evening class that i'm doing for 3 weeks - one more next week)

i love that i live close to peckham rye park & nunhead cemetary... i haven't yet done so but i will surely be cycling to crystal palace some day soon....

and when i do - a certain thing i gave up in north london will be returned to me... alexandra palace park & it's neighbour - highgate woods - were giving me an awful lot of pleasure in the closing months of my north london living...

when i found peckham rye park, something about it gave me the feeling that highgate woods gave me (not exactly, but something like it)...

i'm hoping that crystal park will somehow represent alexandra palace park for me and that being inspired by my surroundings will continue...

not that i'm not already inspired by peckham... the surrey canal path is lovely... burgess park is beginning to offer up it's interesting places to me...

peckham library... the bussey building... all sorts of places inspire me...

but today... what is inspiring me the most... is having a washing machine & a garden & a clothesline...

the hot summer sun drying my clothes in super quick time... what's not to love...?

ok refugees here x laters x
