About Me

London, United Kingdom
This blog is neither trendy or exclusive. It is a record of the creative efforts made by two equally extravagant but ever so different sisters in their attempt to gather up the pieces of their relationship. So far this has included Tom&Jerry cakes, hand made skirts, late night phone calls, silhouette portraits, documenting scenic walks, hospital rooms and many, many illustrated letters. Like all things worthwhile this journey is undoubtedly going to be long. And loud. And colourful. And blissfully exhausting, but we hope that you'll come along, or at least watch from a distance as we serve up the fruits of our joys and frustrations each Sunday until death do us part. Or until we grow out of puberty and realize we were being irrational and really just want to be accountants.

Week 40

Holy shit our blog is officially middle aged.
40 weeks... If it was a person it would probably start considering life insurance, and its retirement plan, maybe plan to invest in a holiday home or take up some absurdly smug hobby.
The again it could also just have a crisis, buy a motorbike and start shagging its secretary.
We'll be sure to let you know in any case.
















Ma Fleur-The Cinematic Orchestra
Ma Fleur (my flower) is the third album by the usually jazz influenced band. Released in 2007 this album sounds a lot more like a band or singer-songwriter project compared to bands usual sounds. Yet it still manages to keep its idiomatic sense of form and structure. Unlike his usual use of film as inspiration, Swinscoe (creator of most of the tracks) worked along side with a scriptwriter who drafted an accompanying screenplay to go with Ma Fleur, however it has not yet been released and until it is, just enjoy the rhythmic interplay that is this album. Personal favourites would be 'To Build a Home' and 'Familiar Ground'.




Priceless- Pierre Salvadori

As you've probably ascertained from the poster there is absolutely nothing high brow about this film. Then again we're not especially high brow people so better to keep every thing in good measure. Best described as a French version of Breakfast at Tiffany's, Priceless follows the disastrous love affair between the beautiful gold digger Irene and hapless barman Jean. Without having to go into the plots finer details, boy loves girl, girl loves money, boy gets money, and well, you'll have to see the rest for yourself. Silly and contagious, it's unpretentious romantic comedy at its best with some incredibly wardrobe moments from Audrey Tatou that would rival Miss Hepburn herself. Will make you sigh and get all dreamy eyed about romantic escapades, however do not try to kid yourself that your boyfriend will want to join you for this one, there are some things that can only be served with a heavy dose of oestrogen.

The Empress-72 Thoday St Cambridge CB1 3AX
This pub, located just down the road from my house is honestly the best place to find yourself after hours of studying and the call of a drink is just too strong to resist. Ridiculously nice atmosphere the Empress holds a number of things you cant help but be impressed by. Firstly is the range of people there, from real mens men, to trendy students and even a lesbian wedding in the garden, you would have to try very hard to stand out in this place. There is also a number of pub games available, such as a pool table, darts and scrabble. However the best part would have to be their array of pets. Inside the pub lives the smuggest looking cat you'll ever see and in the garden lives.. wait for it.. PIGS! Possibly the greatest thing to have in a pub. If none of the above appeal to you, the drinks are pretty cheap aswell.
