Hot Holloway

It’s been tough trying to work and stay sane in London these past few weeks. Working in a south facing roof space seemed like a good idea in the middle of winter, but now it’s torture. Views of the railway track and the new Arsenal football stadium just don’t quite make up. The office next to Pulp Net has air con, and I keep finding reasons to talk to Arlene in Streetscene just for an excuse to stand in the fridge-like calm of their office.

On the plus side, I haven’t seen many of those yellow police signs asking for murder witnesses in the area just recently. A side effect of extreme weather, a professional tells me: when it’s really hot, or really cold, you see a drop in crime stats.’
