Few photos taken at ARC. A busy, buzzy weekend of comics and chat and art and beer in beautiful downtown Peckham. Pretty wonderful all round. I do hope it happens again.

Ah joy, the gutters couldn't take the downpour last night so the place got flooded. And now it's 34c outside. Might get a bit ... sweaty.

I would just like to take this opportunity to say to DHL Express that " We were unable to deliver your DHL Express shipment today because no one was home at the time of our attempted delivery." is an aggravating untruth. I'm here now, I was then. At the address i gave you, you useless bastards.
We went to the Wimbledon Art Fair and mainly emerged with pictures of this dog.
