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 …
Moving House
We have finally found a place to live. After many hours and miles walking the cold, dark streets of London, Kathryn and I have found a place at Acton, West London. Click here for a map view of our street, Spencer St. It is a one bedroom flat on the lower-ground floor of a Victorian …
Raining Indoors
Last Friday the roof exploded. It was my day off (the last I would get for another six days) and I had planned to sleep in before going to look at flats in a relaxing kind of way. This was not to be. I was woken by Kathryn at 7:30am when she informed me of …
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. …
The Reform Club
I’m sorry I haven’t updated the site for a while; I have been very busy with work lately. I have now been working at HMV for three weeks. It took me the first two weeks for my feet to get used to it but I am no longer in constant pain. The Club On the …
Job Hunting
I was going to save this for last but you may as well know right away. Kathryn and I have both found employment – with Foster and Partners and HMV, respectively. This is a good thing as the credit card was maxxed out we were down to our last $50 – which will almost buy …
London
London We caught the train to London and were greeted on our arrival by Malcolm’s secretary Gill. After somehow managing to stuff the suitcases into the back of a little Renault Clio we made our way from Waterloo Station to New Cross. And we have been here ever since. In the last couple of weeks …
First impressions
Fast-forward Ok. I am about a month behind schedule here, so there is a bit of catching up to do. We arrived at Heathrow ahead of schedule at about 5:45am. After the stress of the custom officials questions, waiting for our baggage to arrive and fresh in the knowledge that $100 buys about £30 we …
Adelaide to Heathrow
Sorry about the delay, but this really is the first chance I’ve had to update the site since we left. So here goes… Take Off Kath and I were most impressed with the job Boeing has done with their 777 series aircraft. They really are top of the line and I heartily recommend anyone thinking …
