I had an incling of how busy the last few days would be when I realised that my birthday coincided with the first day of London Fashion Week, but on the other side I now realise it's Thursday and a whole week has gone by since I last too stock.
I didn't think I'd be *that* busy.
I've been so consumed in birthday/fashion week world that the London Design Festival almost passed by without registered so much as a blip on my radar. I knew it was happening but the thought of making plans? Too much.
So yesterday when a friend emailed me and said did I know of anything good they should see, I thought did I?
My friends at Phaidon were my first port of call and sure enough they pulled through. They're showing their new beast of a book (I say book, it's not actually) and have a store selling some of their most notable titles at Design Junction down in Holburn at the Old Sorting Office.

The Old Sorting Office is so big and there's three floors, I'm going to have to make a trip back at the weekend to make sure I've not missed anything.
There's a cinema showing films by Light Surgeons as part of a Crafts Council exhibition called Added Value? which my friend seemed very excited about and there's a pop-up Canteen at which to refuel too.
Design Junction is part of the wider London Design Festival, which last year saw the Bouroullecs take over the V&A, so you know it's going to be good. Find something near you here
