The last day in the Scottish Highlands, we had a more laid-back day. We stayed in an atmospheric old hotel that we found by a lake after several days of camping with a lot of midge bites. We rowed a boat around some beautifully crafted yachts anchored on the lake until the dinner time .

Another day, another coastal walk. We headed out to see some wild seals. We failed to spot them. They must had been out swimming in the sea. Instead what we spotted was a sheep with wild hair cut.

So many of them, so close, the cows were really staring at us. We had to go off the trail several times to avoid any tension between us… It was a stunningly beautiful day.

Degradable & non-degradable items washed up onto the shore together.


Poetic patterns on the sand.

On the way to the 6 hours of coastal walk… I got fascinated by the random objects laying around a fishing station.



Found another old fishing station that I was not sure if it was in use. It was a mess, but I was again excited by the mixture of random objects.


This one was clearly not in use. It was a proper ruin. I liked the graffiti on the wall in the ‘fishing station ruin’ style.

I went to the Scottish Highlands for the first time…

Amazing…, one of the rare original Caledonian pine forests that once covered the vast areas of Scotland.

Rested by the lake after a steep mountain walk that burned off some calories.

I love camping. I wish that there weren’t so many midges though. Then that would had been too good to be true.

La la la…

I went to see the private view of the exhibition by the Camberwell College of Arts BA Illustration Graduates THIS WILL KILL THAT.


A shiny visual artwork that features stripes, pyramid on screen with some strips of mirror.





Me and Sara playing with some floating hats.



Later on the same night, we went to see a late night film screening started after 11pm at the building where Sara works in Stoke Newington.

Amazing looking hand-made spiral speaker.

The starter was the Thriller, of course.

Rest in peace Michael Jackson.

I announced to become a temporary vegan this week, so my house chef Jimmy (it’s not his actual occupation) made a big pot of vegan Thai red curry last night. It was so tasty that I had to have it again for lunch this afternoon – I couldn’t wait until the evening. It was just perfect for this hot weather.
Earlier today, I started to think ‘ oh, did he actually put fish sauce in it?’ as we always do with Thai curries. I checked it with him on the phone. ‘Yes, I did…’ he said. I have already cheated my vegan week…
Ah, I don’t know the exact receipt but here are some of the ingredients:
Coconut milk
Kaffir lime leaves
lemon grass
seitan (similar to tofu, because of its texture that is similar to meat, it is sometimes used as the meat substitute by vegetarians/vegans)
aubergine
mushroom
Red curry paste
And I had it with some steamed gen-mai (short grain brown rice) mixed with 10 different types of seeds and beans that was rather nice too.

I saw Agnes wearing the Onagono’s waffle longjohns at the No-One Boutique. I asked her to pose with a mannequin. Aren’t they looking refreshingly Summery?
