The dynamic duo known as Bob and Ellie are at it again! Here’s what they’ve been getting up to this week! Taking the tube to work. Bob kindly stands and lets Ellie sit as he’s a gentlefish.

Today is a bank holiday (foreigners this means a day OFF work) so naturally I am wide the fuck awake at the ass crack of dawn and completely unable to sit still. I found one of those 1001 books you should read before you die lists (45 so far), and now I’ve decided that today […]
I’ve got a birthday coming up. Not a milestone, but I look at me 5 years ago and I don’t see a lot of change between 27 year old me and 22 year old me (except that 22 year old me could easily drink 27 year old me under the table.) This makes me concerned […]
Today I went to the Churchill War Rooms, in Whitehall, which is a part of the Imperial War Museum. The War Rooms are rooms in an underground bunker that hosted Winston Churchill and his government in a (somewhat) bomb-proof area during the Second World War. They were used for information gathering, meetings, and also living […]
In November 2011 Paul and I were lucky enough to get tickets to an open day at Aldwych disused tube station. The following is the history of the station as well as some pictures. There is something to mention though. London Transport Museum and TFL still open the station up on rare occasion for group […]
This week’s #Sketchbreak challenge was to draw your lunch. It was made slightly more difficult by the fact that I was starving, and my darling desk mate was eyeing up my lunch like a vulture waiting for a gazelle to die in the African wilds. Here’s my take on a sushi lunch, drawn in marker […]
Aka how to make a quick and convenient bird costume for an inappropriately named Jungle themed birthday party. My darling friend Jojo was having a birthday party with the theme ‘Jungle Fever.’ Everyone thought that was a bit awkward, but we like Jojo so no one said anything. About a week later she sent us […]
I had a weird experience this weekend. It was a quick conversation, but it’s led me to feel really frustrated with sexism still existing in some aspects of the social sphere. I met a guy, who mentioned he’s an Aston Villa fan. I tell him sorry, and that I support West Ham to which he […]
A few friends and I went off to the countryside for the weekend to dress up like a shooting themed episode of Downton Abbey, go on long walks, and drink in cozy pubs. It was a success. Here’s what we got up to, in watercolour and then watercolour and ink sketches. Salisbury Cathedral: The old […]
I just got back from a VERY enjoyable weekend in Salisbury. I’ll post a full description of it very soon, but in the meantime, here are a couple of preview sketches of what I saw. The fireplace in my new favourite pub ever, The Haunch of Venison: View of Salisbury Cathedral from across the River […]
