Love is in the air?
A return trip to Columbia Road with the Nottingham correspondent today, to take more pics, and record more sounds for our entry in the Micro O festival. I'm thinking of calling my sound bit 'fiver' because that's all you hear; 'free bunches loverly lilies a fiver' and so on.
As you might expect, they were shamelessly exploiting the impending Valentines day, not wholly successfully as it was raining and cold. Added value, in this case consisted of a red plastic heart inserted into a bunch of roses. There were some notable and slightly obscene alternatives (see Ill.), the succulent does not look real, although I assure you it is, and the other flower is a waterlily. To quote from Mr Dury; "a seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener" ('Plaistow Patricia', should you wish to know). Still, these things are all in the mind of the beholder.
Yesterdays culinary activity consisted mostly of making a Polish Baked Cheesecake (or Sernik), much internet research had ensued, Grandma Krysia's recipe was rejected on the grounds that she looked way too fierce and included mashed potatos. The recipe that we used has turned out very well, even though I made half quantities I still have enough of the stuff to pave a small street. Time to test the theory of good neighbourlyness I guess.
