Welcome to Optimism

Welcome to the Internet: 21st June

Slide1

Grab the report with linky goodness here.

There's been a lot going on this week as always, from the sad passing of Soprano's actor James Gandolfini to the worrying incident of Charles Saatchi holding Nigella Lawson up by the neck at a restaurant. But then again Kanye West and Kim Kardashian named their new born son North, so at least there's some light relief for us all. 

It has also been the week that Instagram has made the change to allow videos on the platform. Because if you thought your friends were terrible at taking pictures, it's impossible to imagine how bad they're going to be at trying to direct a 15 second video.

Lastly, but by no means least, we released the highly addictive Gumulon. If you haven't downloaded it, please do as it's a lot of fun - www.gumulon.com/dl. According to the Apple Game Center, I'm currently 3rd in the world at the touch version. Just saying.


street art tour for Tesco team

It’s not often we take the time to step back and look up around here.  Last week, we set off with our Tesco clients on a walking tour of the Street Art around the Brick Lane area.  It was so interesting to find out more about all the local scribbles, splatters and masterpieces that we walk straight past every day.  Unsurprisingly some of the ladies among us, myself included, were particularly vocal in their appreciation for the more glittery pieces.

From the portraits of local heroes, cranes, fighting cats, hidden mini figurines, to what I guess would be described as cartoon panda porn, there’s a heck of a lot to be seen.

The tour from Alternative London comes highly recommended by us.

Our stroll came to an end at one of the local food hot spots, The Orange Buffalo by Ely Place.  The chicken wings here are insanely good and guaranteed to leave your mouth on fire and your face orange and sticky.  Smiles all round.
