After months avoiding Notting Hill, my Belle and I decided to pay a visit to Portobello road. And there it was like a Fly on a Wall. No, not the expected power plug delivering AC/DC, but a tape sealed in the Wall. I initially found that an interesting type of street art, quite a novelty to me. And yet, according to Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) "Where words fail, music speaks." so no wonder that a a tape could replace the good old graffiti.

Found it, or how to open your eyes to art in the street around you
After a well-deserved break during which I realised that a growing number of Brits are slowly but surely adopting French best practices like "bridging", I was back in London this week-end. And I loved the sight of this sign. I already wrote about UK's unique relationship to time in an article called "Lost time is never found again", but Jacob Von Hogflug brings it to a whole new level...
To accompany my Saturday shots, I tend to look for an intelligent quote... But I think I will opt for something more popular... straight from the pop iconic musical "Rocky Horror Show":
"It's astounding Time is fleeting Madness takes its toll But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control I remember doing the Time Warp Drinking those moments when The blackness would hit me
And the void would be calling
Let's do the Time Warp again Let's do the Time Warp again
It's just a jump to the left And then a step to the right With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight But it's the pelvic thrust That really drives you insane
Let's do the Time Warp again Let's do the Time Warp again"
This weekend I felt a bit rock and roll...
