About

Come On Up To The House was named after the song playing on the office stereo at the time, by Tom Waits. It’s a good song. This is a blog of bits and pieces, and no real theme. Sorry. There’ll be music, there’ll be laughter, there’ll be love and romance.

It’s based in the London Borough of Haringey, however, home to Alexandra Palace, Highgate Woods and my lovely Noel Park Estate. My name is Simon, or Simone, or ohsimone, I am boy. Any opinions are expressed here are in no way representative of anyone else, or even myself at the beginning of a post, to be honest. Don’t read too much into them.

    Just dropped by to say hi.

    At Harringay Online, we’re kinda the next one along (if you hop and skip over West Green, I guess).

    Noticed a link to your blog on the BGB site.

    So, anyway, howdy-doody.
