I saw these guys out for their training run at 9am yesterday in Hyde Park Corner. Immortal indeed!

Spotted: Buff Bus

A bit of a different Spotted, one with an explanation...

During the Olympics, many countries have taken over spaces in London to celebrate their cultures and athletes, welcome guests, and basically have a great party. The biggest ones are Holland Heineken House at Alexandra Palace and Switzerland House on Southbank, and we are lucky enough to live down the street from the Czech House in Islington.


The Czech Republic commissioned a fabulous sculpture outside of the venue by artist David Cerny, whose weird baby sculptures are found all over Prague. This time, he's animated a London bus – it does pushups while grunting. There is a video below, so you can see it in action!


If you're interested in hitting up some of the nation houses during the rest of the Games, here's a good guide to the ones you shouldn't miss.

Spotted: anniversary blooms and basket

The Irishman and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday and I got spoiled. He sent me these lovely blooms to my office, and when I got home I received the best bike basket ever! We went to a local pub for Thai food and a few drinks since it was the longest day of the year, and we'll celebrate properly on Friday with dinner at Zucca. What a sweetheart... here's to you, stinky xxx

Spotted: Roses that are not red


This is sort of a Spotted cheat, because these roses are in my house - I'm just featuring them because I bought them for 99p on sale at Waitrose on Tuesday and they've lasted brilliantly and are SO fragrant! Mmm, I hope they never die.

I heard about it on Radio 6... and then I ran into it. Lots of cool kids buying, selling, and trading records. Just like the old days.
