Back in the Game

I’ve not been commuting into London on a daily basis now for several weeks and the new modus operandi of being a freelance worker is proving a good experience. Little known to my sus-chef at home but there have been a couple of trips to the exquisite burger feasting establishments of Liverpool St already this week, last night’s being totally Hoegaarden induced – in mitigation it was my friend Jonas who suggested a drink and having spent most of the day in the flagship Bravissimo bra retail store it felt like the manly thing to do.

Following a good AM shoot this morning with the legendary lighting cameraman Carlos I hit another establishment, so confident of its offering it calls itself ‘The Legend’ - and seriously this East London barbers is worthy of its name. Yasmin didn’t whip out the fire on my nose and ears this time but he did works of art on my receding hairline and then finished me off with a good old-fashioned hot towel. Feeling a little fatigued after walking through a sea of fine food options at Whitecross market I was lured in by the third Starbucks I saw. It was however a good move as only last night I’d been studying the label of a Ice Cold Latte and the main man in Starbucks gave me one free of charge.

Confident with my replenished caffeine supplies I saw a Maker’s Mark promo stand so went to try a whiskey with ginger – nice and refreshing although perhaps one questions the merit of a whisky which you need to add a mixer with to enjoy.

You see all sort’s of different aspects of life by living outside 9 til 5, for one I had no idea that you could get a train from Liverpool Street to Peterborough, thankfully it stopped off at Colchester…..
