My dad had cut out this article to show us. These floating tea houses are by Professor Terunobu Fujimori. So imaginative. Professor Terunobu Fujimori has a house that is part of this current exhibition at the V&A. I thought this video worth a watch to see more about it. Here is a more in-depth profile and slideshow on Dwell.
Pictures from today:
1. He also wrote Planet of the Apes and Bridge Over the River Kwai
2. Looking up
3. Peeking through a fence at a building site

Thank you for the questions! I will integrate them over in the ‘about’ page this week. It feels pretty weird to write a post that is all me me me! Some of the questions overlapped so I have put them together.
For the first time I am going to put a break in this page because it is so long. If you are viewing this on the site you may need to click through to read more… Read More
I don’t know if anyone noticed but for 24 hours this website was gone. Poof, with one small error while transferring the database everything vanished: goodbye three years, goodbye 700 posts, goodbye thousands of photographs, and goodbye to thousands and thousands of kind, funny, thoughtful, interesting comments. It was an abrupt goodbye without even having a chance to say farewell.
And I really really cared. I hadn’t realised until it was gone quite how comfortable I feel in this funny little online home.
Without this space I would still take pictures, I would still visit new places, I would still cook, I would still sew random things, and I would still be amused by the odd things the cats get up. However I now really appreciate quite how much I enjoy sharing it all on here.
So thank you all who visit, and I promise next time to be really really careful with the databases.
I hope that everything is sorted out now but if anyone notices anything weird please let me know.

This is the picture I had wanted to show before the disaster:
:) When Beep is not allowed on my desk she will sit up on a speaker like that hovering behind me gazing with that weird glassy expression over my shoulder out the window. It is eerie. Birds beware.
Tomorrow I will get to answering the questions, if anyone has anything else they would like to ask me please do so in the comments or on Formspring. I will answer it all back over here. I see there is quite a bit of interest I what I do for a living…
The top picture is not really the sort of thing that I usually post but I thought it was interesting because this sort of scene is common late into the night outside nightclubs and pubs now because of the smoking ban. I took this at about 1am as I was heading home, the streets were really thronging with people smoking all dressed up and sitting on the roadside.
The other is my breakfast. The correct application of food is important after late nights I think :)
Dudes, I am so rubbish at taking a self portrait! :0 So I resorted to a Photo Booth style picture again as it just snaps the moment and I don’t have to think about it too hard. Beep was not interested so it is me and Ira :) oh and I am wearing an apron because I was also cooking dinner.
So I was thinking that it was about time I updated my About and FAQ area. Does anyone have any questions they would like to ask me? It can be anything. I will address any questions in a week. Either ask it below in the comments or if you want to ask it anonymously then enter it into this Formspring box. I won’t be answering on Formspring but will bring the questions back here to answer in a week if there are any.
I reserve the right to not answer anything mean of course :) Some of you guys I feel I have known for years via here and the old blog, and I can see from the site stats that there is a large silent majority out there, I just wondered if there was anything? Maybe no one has any questions! An experiment.
It’s hard to know sometimes how one is coming across online, I think this space gives a decent idea of day-to-day things although there are some topics I veer away from, such as I don’t really mention music which is a big part of my daily life. I guess that I don’t tend to discuss that on here because I get so much of it in life. I know also I don’t put up pictures of people, mostly that is because it seems a difficult line to tread with this whole privacy issue, so I just steer clear of the whole thing.
