It has been a cool couple of days. Dom was rather late here on Monday, but when he finally arrived he had a rather awesome proposal. A party was being planned at his place, and Lyn and I were invited. We seldom turn down such offers, so without much ado we set off for Lewisham. Dominic lives in a very cool place: it’s sort of an artist’s commune based in a truly labyrinthine building. Getting to the party itself didn’t prove that easy, given that it was on the rooftop terrace up some winding stairs (Dominik gave Lyn a piggyback), but once we were there it soon became clear that we had a top-notch night ahead. Lyn’s Ipad was plugged in to the speakers and it was not long before she had a mix going; one fellow was blowing huge, beautiful bubbles using a stick, rope and water mixed with washing up liquid; there was plenty to eat and drink. It lasted to around midnight, and we slept at dom’s apartment, which had a vertical neon lamp in it, giving rise to Lyn and I making this:

We walked back yesterday afternoon after a late breakfast. It had been totally unexpected, but incredible; the sort of spontaneous event that I love. I love where dominik lives, full of artistic, creative people from all over the world. Such a diverse, vibrant place, I couldn’t help but reflect to myself on Monday night, wouldn’t exist if bigots like farage got their way. Anyway, I really hope he invites us back – something tells me that there’s a lot of cool, creative stuff happening there that I should look into. It looked, the stairs aside, the type of place I’d love. Perhaps I can use my new jedi mind-tricks to suggest another party soon.
