We had a preview of this #German book in the summer at the Goethe Institute. Great little story with acommpanying activities. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2024/nov/15/the-gruffalo-illustrator-launches-book-to-help-uk-pupils-learn-german

Loved this piece by Cherrell Avery, engraving poem by Tim Rich.

"There will never be another you, me: a supernova of mental electricity and soft senses that somehow turn the world outside in

Then, at that time we all come to meet, we'll slip this line of life, back into entropy

gently, letting I and the become indefinitely cosmic as we rejoin our family of dust. So every ambition is settled perfectly"

Popped into the Building Centre on Store Street, Bloomsbury, just off Tottenham Court Road. Exhibit open until Friday. Various poems written, printed or carved on different media. #London #Art #GraphicDesign

Watched this movie the other day, was half joking with my brother that the imagery was prophetic. Too soon. :(

First time ever commuting with Mrs Davoloid to our respective new buildings at Stratford. Lovely open examples following #Brutalist tradition. And a thoroughly nice day.

Back on track now.

Just heard this overhead. What's the vertical and horizontal separation required over London? Possible near miss. #AVGeeks

Caught up on the #Olympics closing ceremony, absolutely love #Phoenix, Air, Vampire Weekend, and that Kavinsky song is one of the most iconic movie songs.
Thomas Mars seemed so grateful for the fans that came to their excellent Glastonbury closer last year (billed against Elton John) so this must have been such a thrill.

New hobby for me and adventure girl. Picked up a kayak and have been out for the last 3 days on the North Kent Coast. Best way to stay cool!
Alt text not working for me: photos show a cyan 2 person inflatable kayak, me and kiddo with coast in the background, wearing lifejackets, and a distant shot of us in the middle of the harbour, with proper boats behind.

I absolutely love Anderson.Paak, and fair play for some recent pop collaboations. I'm having fun visualising the pearl clutching as people go back to some of his regular and older tunes like "Silicon Valley" and "Milk and Honey"

Before Kamala Harris came on, this mashup was great. Can't find it online.
Anderson.Paak "Come Down" x "Jill Scott Golden"

Perhaps I'm late to spot this, but I have only just noticed that the logo for the Paris Olympics is a flame, but also silhouette of a woman's face with "chic" haircut and lips.

Unpopular opinion: Apart from the one manager who led England to victory in the 1966 England World Cup (side eye), Southgate has been the best #England manager ever: WC QF and SF, two Euro finals.

NATO summit... Or is it?

Well yes, the one guy with the shiny faced photo was legit, but how is it possible that there's *no requirement* to check a candidate is a real boy?

@DreadShips Not surprised to see Akshata Murty trying to blend into the background, using Dazzle camouflage.

Theae are my favourite #snack of the moment, but hard to track down! Holland & Barrett Soft Banana coins in a yoghurt coating, gives a chewy toffee vibe.

Eva's kindly sent me some pics as she doesn't have a website as such. I thought these might be of interest for those of you interested in #Reclaimed Materials and #Sustainability

Ali Wagner's project, Dancefloor Intimacy, is about designing nightclubs and similar spaces for neurodiverse people. Really comprehensive guidebook.

Hannah Colthorpe had a gorgeous display of her Steg character, postcards, badges, posters and a bedroom rug.
