The other day after a BBQ a group of friends and I went to the park to fly a tiny helicopter.

this and that from the weekend

By Alice | Published: August 8, 2011


Coincidentally I was back in the Ashmolean for the second time this weekend to see Cultural Revolution: State Graphics in China in the 1960s and 1970s which contains recent acquisitions of posters, prints, and so on. It’s in a small space tucked away (gallery 29) but well worth checking out if you are passing.


Edamame lunch. They are shutting for their usual summer break soon. Very tasty.


Cup of tea in the pub. Red wine later ;)


Chance to play some music.


Took my personal stuff home from work. Surprising how much there was! I think because I’m always cycling back and forth the bigger less transportable stuff built up under my desk, things like cake tins and my bicycle pump :)

Ashmolean Late Nights

By Alice | Published: August 7, 2011

Holding gigs/nights/events in unusual places is a great idea! On Friday there was an Ashmolean Late Nights event held in the vaults. The DJs beforehand weren’t my cup of tea but the local band that played were great and the projections around the room were really nicely done.

just this and that

I noticed when skimming the pictures I had taken recently that whenever I sit down I always have my bracelet in front of me and my sunglasses. The sunglasses I lost in Seattle were no longer available so a few months back I bought the Rayban Honey New Wayfarers.


See :) We were discussing taking the train to Berlin next year sometime and looking at maps. My suggestion of cycling didn’t go down well.


Went to this poetry / music / visuals event yesterday as a friend who is also a talented video guy was showing some work he’d made for this, his stuff is really cool. It was an interesting evening and I was also very impressed by the poet Caroline Bird.

I’m getting a huge backlog of photographs lately so I might have to post a little bit more than my usual 3x a week for a short bit.

this week

By Alice | Published: July 22, 2011

A few random things from the past week. I thought that record sleeve was interesting. Went to an enjoyable gig, ODC Drumline and Coloureds at MAO. I’ve been saying goodbye to some of my favourite lunchtime walks as soon I’ll be working elsewhere.
