I live on Bethnal Green Road which is probably one of the best places around, from the markets, cafes and Nandos to the 24/7 off licence. One of the best things about this place is the weird and pretty cool street art, the graffiti and abandoned living room furniture.
Today I saw some funky posters and ended up talking to an old man about walking and running which was a weird way to start the morning. Apparently his doctor cant believe how much walking he does each day.
So today I started a new job as an Assistant Producer on a new TV show over in Victoria, so with that and the fact I cant walk, I will do my best to keep this all interesting. So First up, yesterday, I took the wrong train home, which proved detrimental to my pizza & sofa evening. it really dug into my night, but you just gotta keep on hoppin.
Heres a snap, of my Hopping adventure after work but firstly heres two snaps of my grumpiest friend, he’s only really happy when he’s moaning about something or talking about chelsea but everyone needs a friend like that. so cheers ben, your the best grumpy friend I have.
Ladies, let me introduce you to Ben “Swipe Right” Delany.
This weekend was actually a good laugh, I basically eat food, drunk beer and slept. then yesterday, amy and me were looking through her camera at all the photos and found some gems. so I thought that nothing is better than looking at fun photos on a shitty rainy monday morning.
check out dee’s snaps
I thought today I would address the weather situation at the moment. One minute its sunny the next its raining, you cant win. I know this happens every year around this time, but this is the first time Ive taken photos to prove it. most of you are probably thinking. “well, this is 2 minute’s ill never get back” and your right. but I needed to post pictures today so I went down this root.
My brilliant idea yesterday was all about pouring water onto the kitchen side in the dark, with just one light looking down on the sideboard from above. it was all going really well until I realised that the side and floor was underwater. Lucky, I had a few towels at my disposal, which was definitely a life saver. may be its time for me to move back to my flat. Dad if your reading this, sorry. but I think it was worth it for the pictures.
I promise is this the last time you will hear about my leg, but today I’m sat on the sofa again. today I’ve been looking at a photographer’s website I’ve been following for a while her name is Krystal Wright and her pictures are unreal. I heard about her a documentary on Netfilx called Tales Between The Light and since then I’ve followed Krystle and properly liked all of her photos. she is definitely doing some cool shit right about now.
I thought today I would show you some of her pictures as Im not able to get out an take any and don’t think you want to see more biggin hill sunsets and green trees.
go and check out her website: http://krystlewright.com/
She’s also on instgram as: krystlejwright
DAY 4 of living on a sofa and right now I just need so of that good stuff, fresh air. yesterday I made it out for a bit and thought i would see how far I could make it into the woods, turns out not that far. Anyway, there was another banging sunset last night, which I think is worthy of another snap.
So yesterday I had to travel back to my mum and dads, because of this slight issue with the tendons in my leg being useless. At their house you get a pretty decent view of sun sets, so after spending the day on the sofa, at like 7 O clock, I set my intervelometer to go off every 10 seconds till the sun had set and managed to catch these bad boys.
Check out these snaps.
So the lift in my flats is being changed and wont work for the next 4 months, which is going to make life a lot more interesting for the next few months. not even sure if Deliveroo will take the stairs upto my door.
Heres a little throwback to when I could walk and on a trip to Pioneer town and Joshua Tree national park. Thanks for the photos Anders.
** These pictures are just to explain my situation**
A quick bit of info, Im currently training for an Ultra Marathon in Switzerland across the alpes, its 70km long and I was hopefully going to be completing it in under 8 hours. Now fast forward to yesterday I was out on a 13.1 mile run, nothing I haven’t done before. When I hit the 12 mile mark but with a good speed of 7:45 per mile, my right leg went all floppy, but mumma did rest no quiter, so I pushed on for the last 1.1 miles and thats when I realised I had done some serious damage to my leg, I basically could walk or even lift the leg. When I got home I decided to dig into a packet of oreo’s and a can coke, to my surprise this didnt help, thats when I took the decision to head to hospital. where they then told me the bad news, I have ripped apart the tendons that connect my quad muscle to my pelvis. basically its put me out of walking and definitely no running for the next 6 weeks, and with the ultra marathon in 5 weeks, basically meaning I will not be running that race… its just the sofa with a tub of ben and jerrys phis food for me.
Please send me netflix series to watch.
