Back to mussel from brussel Written on 05-May-2008 by kenzokengo

We decided to head towards Whitstable on the East Coast during the long bank holiday weekend to have a final peruse at Marcus's "boat house", before he moves onto new pastures and even more poncier places. What initially appeared to resemble an over-sized garden shed, turned out to be somewhat of an architectural marvel. Exposed galvanized 'i' beams were left exposed inside, while camouflaged behind the solid wood paneling on the outside. A sign of sloppiness or creative genius? you decide. Although unfinished, the floor to ceiling, huge double french doors did provide optimum viewing angles of the coast and sea. An ideal setting, and all of this would have been so perfect had it not been for a fault on the boiler, despite valiant efforts by the boiler man "specialist", aka Marcus, we had to settle with colder water than the sea itself. The front slopping decking on either side of the boat house could also be hoisted and wound shut by high tension steel cables by means of a giant reel to seal and secure the whole house during the uninhabited and cold seasons. The raised pitched roof offered sleeping space for two as well as spectacular views of the coast and sea. As an addition, one of the rooms had a sliding floor or sliding ceiling if you're downstairs, allowing views from either end of the house. Pointless, but novel never the less.

You had a job writing Mecano instruction manuals in a past life, right!? If society were only to place as much value on the poetry of describing mechanics as on tales of internal family feuds and jealousies, people would have long forgotten Shakespeare, and we would have read KenzoKengo in school.

Ah! I don´t know if that is true. I was just reviewing my comments on chickerino and I described one of your points about "Muslim scientists" on the BBC as "insightful", said (if somewhat satirically) how I agree with your political opinions re: your new flat post and expressed my appreciation of your webjam hand-signal. Sometimes, I am a little argumentative, but you already know that I am a "pain in the arse". ha ha.
