Oh, me poor ‘ead!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last night’s ‘quiet’ drink turned out to be a bit of a quaff-a-thon, ending up at the excellent Juice Bar on Coldharbour Lane – a small, friendly, licensed bookstore open till 2am. Recommended – but if you’re on a diet, don’t even look<\/em> at their waistline-expanding cheesecakes!<\/p>\n

Talking of things Brixton, I’ve been out and about for the past week producing a Brixton: Then and Now<\/a> series, retaking photographs of scenes recorded 50-100 years ago. I was really saddened to learn of the fate of the Empress Theatre<\/a>, a massive old theatre that was – criminally – demolished in the 1980s.<\/p>\n

Thursday was Mayday<\/a> and yours truly was out in the thick of it, avoiding heavy handed police and enthusiastic jugglers.<\/p>\n

And today is Jayday<\/a>, a free pro-cannabis festival in Brockwell Park<\/a>, near Brixton. I’ve been commissioned to take some photos for High Times magazine, so I’ll be snapping away all afternoon. So far the weather looks good – let’s hope it doesn’t get as bad as it was in 2001 – the wettest festival ever!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
