Breakfast by the church on Denmark Street. Down to Hyde park for One Taste at the free music festival. Bumped into Salenas vegan army, cool girls who offered me champagne. With blueberries. Salena arrived and Namoi Woddis and Raymond Antrobus and Dean Atta and Kate Tempest performed an I met this HOT chick when I was walking the former Eurythmics guitarist Lassie dog and called on it, "come her bitch" and she thought I called on her and it was hysterical. And we kissed and shared a muscle relaxer pill and she told me she was a model just home from 5 years in Bangkok and a daughter of a diplomat and I took her email
