Return of the mid-week London photo #25

Last year, I used to do a series called Mid-week London Photo. It lasted 24 weeks and ended for no particular reason. Maybe I just haven’t been taking enough photos. Maybe I should start again.

Last night I went out for a drink with the girls in Putney. It was Tuesday, so we didn’t exactly last “all night long”, but then I guess that depends on your definition of night. When does night end? Midnight? Surely that’s only the middle of it? So it was a night half full. A fun night and a happy night. My friend A. has a new boyfriend and she was soooo happy, like a teenager and like someone who just fell love for the first time, although she’s neither of those things. I felt happy for her. It makes me happy to see people being happy. And nothing makes people happier than LOVE LOVE LOVE. We’re so crazy about love, we humans.

Among other news, I found out that my musical muse, Jason Mraz, split up with his fiancé, musician Tristan Prettyman. She says he wasn’t ready. This is bad because:
a) It makes him a bastard, and I really don’t want him to be one of those bastards. I want him to be a good guy.
b) It confirms there is no Happily Ever After in life. Just when you think you’re in the Happily Ever After phase, something always fucks up.
But it’s good because:
a) Nothing gives people inspiration to write great music like a broken heart. Can’t wait to hear Jason’s next album. And Tristan’s too!
b) The most eligible man in the world (in my world) is now available.

Btw. did you know Jason Mraz has Czech roots? His grandfather moved to the US in 1915. Mráz is a common Czech surname; it means “frost”. I wonder if Jason knows any Czech words.
