A mind-boggling image. I am never tired of looking at it…
‘The phoenix is closer than it appears’ – a large mirrored room installation or 4 x 4 x 8 meters creating infinite reflections by German artist Thilo Frank in the gallery at KUNSTEN, Museum of Modern Art, in Aalborg, Denmark. Inside, visitors are encouraged to place themselves on a simple plank swing, suspended from the room’s ceiling, which introduces a dizzying element of motion to their battery of illusory selves.

Deliverance is what we reach out when we both are hungry but feel too lazy to do anything about it, other than accessing to their website and clicking away what we fancy from their menu.
Their kitchen is less than 10 minutes away in Farringdon. Therefore, most of our orders are delivered pronto, or if not, even earlier than a specified time.
What shall we have tonight?…
We both fancied their cheese burger with bacon.
And their fat chips are a definite must. They are sumptuous and tasty.
Normally, I prefer my chips stringy like McDonald’s. However, Deliverance’s is an exception.
The mess left after our feast…
Rubbing our tummies, we felt a glow of satisfaction, which was not entirely free from some sense of guilt. But hey, would a “guilt-free” life be any happier than the life I am enjoying presently? I guess not.
Let’s live like saints with (occasional) sin, shall we?…
Oh my, I was in such a distress.
Do you know why? Because… I stunk!
Yes, I had been tormented by my own smell a whole day yesterday.
This overwhelming odour which drove me insane was a Pomegranate Noir Body Cream by Jo Malone which I put it on after my bath.
I was given this body cream as a part of Christmas presents from my in-laws. It was forgotten and was gathering dust until I discovered it while I was rampaging my closet for something else.
Hmmmm… Lets give it a try this evening, I thought innocently.
So after stepping out of the bath, I smothered myself with this gooey stuff.
Uh-oh, I was not sure about the smell. It was heavy, spicy and way too masculine.
It was not at all my cup of tea.
Should I wash it off? I pondered for a while. May be the scent might fizzle out if I wait for a couple of hours? So I decided to stay put. A big mistake.
The smell had an amazing staying power. It clung for a whole night, next morning & afternoon and until I scrubbed it off in the bath!
The damn body cream annoyed me to no end and it was thrown into the bin with a pleasure…
BTW, do you remember the gilet I was talking about the other day?
I finished it yesterday…
Do you like it?
I think it looks great with my leather jacket…
Can hardly wait for my next day out!
My happiness is finding Mr.B when I open a front door.
My happiness is seeing a gorgeous sunset from my window.
My happiness is being surprised & touched by other’s kindness & generosity.
Yes, my heart was filled with happiness when I walked into my flat and saw this…
A bunch of flowers sent from my darling friend Fei…
It took me by a complete surprise and made my day.
Don’t they look lovely?
Tulips & roses. How pretty they are!
I took liberties of plucking a few out of the bunch and displayed it in my bathroom, so I could gaze at it while I would be having a leisurely soak this evening…
Since the criminal duo, Alibaba & Piranha, is no longer breathing down my neck, I can show my creations to anyone, can’t I?
They, especially Alibaba, were so paranoid and controlling. Despite the fact that I never signed any paper or saw any deposit for my labour, they forbid me to mention about the project in even a miniscule scale. I thought it was rather strange because, as far as I know, my method was unique “one of its kind” and impossibly hard to copy it by just looking at images.
Anyway, I am at liberty to do whatever I please without not having to worry about any unpleasant call, SMS or Facebook message across the Channel. Yipeeeeee!!!!
This jacket is one of three I made for the project aforementioned…
A round neck cardigan / jacket.
It has two good size front pockets.
The view from rear…
The fit is quite generous. I think it can be worn over suits.
The detail around the shoulder…
And the close-up of the front panel…
And finally, the hem looks like this…
The material is 100% Merino wool. How do you find it?
