The Egypt travelogue is here. Sort of. I think it is going to be a fairly long one, so I have decided to try something different. Rather than taking weeks to write a huge entry that you will have to set aside a whole evening to read, I am going to serialise it in little

Proposal
Kathryn and I are engaged. Here’s how it happened. Monday morning. Very, very morning. Approximately 3.20 AM. The kind of time when you really wish you had gone to bed at 9 PM like you were planning to. The plan was to catch the night bus from Sloane Square to Liverpool Street for the Stansted
Nothing to say
It is Tuesday. We are leaving for Cornwall on Thursday, and the thought of getting even further behind in this travelog has spurred me to update the site. As it is late and these things always seem to take longer than expected I will keep the witty observations on life to a minimum and the
Matt & Donna Leave
Well, once again we find ourselves alone in a strange city. Not that strange really after a year and a half but still just as interesting. As I write I imagine Matt and Donna must be nearing Brisbane. I can imagine how they must be feeling – like shit. I wonder what Virgin will make
Ireland

After some hesitation I decided to brave the freezing (literally!) weather and ride through the snow to work. Hyde Park
Wales
Well, where to start? It’s been a very long time since I could sit down and update the site. We have done a lot in the six months since then. First we went to Wales in March. I won’t go into detail here but it involved hiring a car and driving around pretty much all
The North
Last Friday Kathryn and I caught the train to Edinburgh. It left Kings Cross station at 8 am so we had to get up very very early. As it turned out we got up a little too early so we had time to enjoy a cup of coffee at the station. Mmmmmm. Can’t you just
Ely & Cambridge
I have just finished watching “Walking With Dinosaurs“. An excellent show from the BBC. I don’t know if it is on in Australia yet, but I’m sure you will get it soon. While watching, I enjoyed a Violet Crumble (thanks Robin:). Shakespeare in HMV London, being the centre of the world, tends to attract celebrities.
