I doodled this rabbit while I was sitting on the bench. He looks a bit tired, but he's about to get on his scooter and set off. Which is just what I need to do today. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/rabbit_pirate-49cd5f0231.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI popped into Waterstone's just before heading back and – happy happy! – they had my studio mate \u003Ca href=\"http://www.whodunnknit.com\">Lauren O'Farrell\u003C/a>'s books in the front shelf! Look, both of them! I think that's one of the best feelings ever, seeing my friends' books prominently on display, because I know how much hard work they've put into them. (These two fab books are \u003Ca href=\"http://www.stitchldn.com/Books.html\">\u003Ci>Stitch London\u003C/a>\u003C/i> and \u003Ca href=\"http://www.knitthecity.com/book/\">Knit the City\u003C/a>.) \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/greenwich_books-0d52239ea6.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd another happy Lauren-related thing, when she arrived in the studio this morning, she'd just bought herself this excellent Totoro bag.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/lauren_totoro-191c5f8da6.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI love Greenwich mornings. Here's the view toward \u003Ca href=\"http://www.rhodesbakery.co.uk/\">Rhodes Bakery\u003C/a>, which does a most excellent coffee and Chelsea bun. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/greenwich-adbb1f8e48.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nIf you take your coffee and bun and sit in the courtyard of Trinity College London, a music school, you can take in the abstract concert of students practicing. Usually the different strands of music clash against each other - jazz saxophone, classical piano, opera singing, violin scales - but occasionally the sounds merge and, for a few seconds, make a wonderful sound together. This video isn't the most exciting footage ever shot, but it gives you a feel for what it's like to sit there and listen.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Clj-embed id=\"1241\"/>","2011-10-10T15:09:00.000Z","greenwich-morning-and-a-surly-rabbit",[],"greenwich morning and a surly rabbit",1776628720806]
