Well we used the entire weekend to pack up out stuff, and throw more out as well unbelievable the stuff ya collect over the years :), we still have two days left to sort it all out.
I saw a few bits of Glastonbury on TV and also saw some nice pix of 2 guys canoeing thru the “lake” amidst tents that were hit by the freak weather, this off course brought back some memories back of the 1997 gig when I was there, altho that year was way way worse….as it rained, rained and rained almost all weekend…..I will try and see if I can dig up some pix.
Meanwhile I will post some scans I finished yesterday of Laura Morgan, this was shot in 1998 near Brighton, I still like this shoot a lot.
Styling: Jackie Beeke, Hair: Michele Salvadori & Make-Up: Neusa Neves.
Well m0m left last Sunday, we got up at 5, drove to Stansted, then came back and started to pack things up we could store at Terri’s parents, so we ended driving to Essex back and forth twice, and on Monday one more time as well, and we still have heaps off stuff we wanna store and get rid off. I have thrown away about 200 video tapes which were stored in the attic and have been replaced by dvds/svcds anyways.
I will post some pix of the bar-b-q we had with my mom and Terri’s parents.
In regards to the househunting, it seems that the vendors have gotten their offer accepted, so it looks like the chain may be moving….
We are also going to move to Southend for 1/2 mths, Matt Harris has offered us a flat to stay at for a reasonable price, we checked it yesterday and then met Barry and Lisa afterwards and saw the kids as well, their house is like a massive playground……… 
My Mom, has arrived from Rotterdam where she stayed with my brother last night. She is going to hang with us for a few days. We are going on a trip tomorrow, some villages in Suffolk, Lavenham and Flatford Mills, supposed to be good weather too, might take a few shots.
Good news on the house front, altho it will be some time ’till the vendors are moving, but we have managed to establish direct contact and that is encouraging
. The only problem will be that we will need to rent somewhere ’till the move is to be completed, my guess on this, somewhere in Aug…..
So propably not a lot of internet activity then….
Here are some more scans… (Ice-T, Marianne Faithfull and Patti Smith)
It is all a bit frustrating, we have been told that the vendors do wish to sell to us at the agreed price, but now they are looking to move at least 3 wks later. This off course is putting us in a tough spot as we have to leave from here on the 30th of this mth. the house is a good deal tho, across from us is a row that is bordering where the trains go past and they are going for at least 20K more, we have had the luck the vendors, originally, wanted to move real quick as they put their place at a lower price on the market.
I have started to upload some pix to the sales site, feel like I am neglecting everything else, all I do is eat, drink, sleep property, property, PROPERTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…………….
This morning we had a phone call and we recieved the news that our offer on a house in Harringey was accepted, but we still await the news whether our offer for a house in Stoke Newington is cool or not……this 2nd house has our pref. as it is may be smaller, but it is in a much better area off course.
Besides that type of stress, we have been talking to a lawyer in regards Terri’s court case (which she won) but there are quite a few creases that need to be ironed out…..I wont bore anyone with details, only that it aint over yet. we are talking to another one tonight……FUN FUN FUN
We are looking forward to moving house and start afresh…..
Meanwhile some of the pix of Brian Haw I took in April have been posted on his site….have a look…

PS: Meanwhile, we have gotten the 2nd property confirmed as well, I can not believe this, we were soo pessimistic at the beginning of the week, and look at this now……great news….
Did the quiz thing w. Jo Brand last night, was a hard job to do as there were a ton of people in a very small and confined space, needless to say it got boiling hot in there.
Looking at 5 properties today…………….
Here is a shot of Metronomy published in Amelia’s Magazine, which came out a week ago.
Have a look at her site:

Yesterday was my b-day and it started with a big dissapointment, the property Terri and I fell in luv with was withdrawn from the market, we found out later on that the vendor got the asking price thru a friend. This off course put a massive downer on for the rest of the day, and I could not be arsed to do anything worthwhile celebrating, did not care where Terri and I would go for dinner etc etc etc. we viewed two properties as well but they were a no go.
Also decided that next yr ought to be celebrated with a massive bang (as I will be turning 40…., oooooooooooh juz one more time….).
I am doing a gig for UK TV with Jo Brand (comedienne) tomorrow, and also doing a gig on the 30th for More Magazine which will be with a final (10 girls) selection of wanna be models, could be interesting. Looking forward doing some work coz this real estate biz is getting to me…..
