Take a weight off

Friends S&S moved house today so shook off my fest hangover and helped them lug their belongings to the new place round the corner. Among their many interesting treasured possessions is this curious gem. Found outside the art school by S after the other S's disco nights, it was lifted up the stairs by the crotch to it's new home

I got a backy on a friend's bike on the way. First time in ages. Was scared and so heavy the wheel deflated to the rim. Must be getting old.

Saw E's new play Thirsty @ pleasance. Really incredible. Very fresh and visceral take on our strange relationship with booze built from anonymous testimonies and confessions. Far from a moralistic nag, the performers are pretty happy to demonstrate the fun and not so fun parts of getting pished. From a few genial pints with mates to terrifying hen parties and bouncing off the toilet walls in a club. Ingenius staging, beautiful music and blinding performances that say the unsayable. Am going again.

On the way home in the heavy rain I film the reflection of the trees on the pavement. I'm upside down walking across the tree tops
