…you can’t ask for more than that!

Bank Holiday Weekend again (August 25 to 27)!  What’s a boy and girl to do?  I’m not pointing the finger for this holiday at anyone, but Asha recommended the Norfolk Broads and the metropolis of Great Yarmouth.  Sigh.

The highlights: it was lovely spending time with Asha again; I got to drive; we saw some pretty things.

The bad.  Great Yarmouth is not really us.  We actually felt like snobs which was kind of uncomfortable - but the feeling was so hard to ignore.

Anyway, please have a look at the nice photos.  I’m not going to write anything else about the place. Read the rest of this entry »

Finally!  Family!

It was great having Carly here for a fleeting visit before she headed to the continent.  Here are some pics from our day trip to Brighton where Carla and I visited the Royal Pavilion.

Toast Festival is an annual event over a weekend.  The Saturday is kiwi-focused, the Sunday is Australiana.  We went on Sunday…

Traditionally it’s a celebration of Australian music, comedy and wine.  Kath & Kim were the stars, as you can see in the pics. Read the rest of this entry »

Well I finished it a few hours ago.  I’m not going to spoil it for anyone - but it’s a pretty satisfactory, and exciting finale.

Up until this week in Portugal, Sun + Sand + Ocean + Heat != Fun. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this holiday to Portugal (no small part thanks to Todd, Shannon, Scott and Carly’s presence). Read on for more… Read the rest of this entry »

Long weekend (May 26, 27 & 28) - what to do? Ash had an idea - a bus tour thingy in the lovely county of Devon. So, Carly, Asha and I left work early on Friday (well I did - for the two girls this was normal) and rushed to meet our bus and co-travellers in Great Portland Street. Read the rest of this entry »

Much has been done in the last couple of weeks:

• Travelled to Devon with Asha and Carly for the long weekend at the end of May (pics etc will be up one of these days)
• Seen Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (don’t bother )
• Had a lovely Sunday brunch at Giraffe (my regular spot) with Carly, Asha, Danielle, Todd, Scott, Joe and Shamine - and we continued to a nice lunch in the sun in Holland Park
• Asha invited me to go and see Daniel Radcliff’s (aka Harry Potter) play Equus on Monday 04/06/2007. It wasn’t a bad yarn and pretty well acted.

Whoa - what a great night (Friday 18 May). Accenture threw the current and former team members of the project I’ve working on for the last 11 months on a big bash inside the Earth Galleries of the Natural History Mueseum in South Kensington. We had champagne and hors d’oeuvres in the rooms that house all the minerals, metals and man-made materials. To get to it we had to travel up a long escalator through a massive Earth sculpture. Dinner was served downstairs underneath the massive Earth sculpture. Read the rest of this entry »
