Northern lights coming South? 03Nov03

Filed under: Random

i’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for the northen lights that apparently you can see as far south as kent due to some serious sun storms. still no luck but then again i wouldn’t really expect to see anything through the glow of london. i live in hope.

Back in London town 06Oct03

Filed under: London, Photos, Random

It seems the only time I have had lately to casually browse or blog has been very brief - usually during a lunch break in between mouthfuls, slobbering over my keyboard. I paint a pretty picture for you, I’m sure. We have not had decent Internet access at home either, due to our recent move (from Brighton back to London). But all that has changed - I’ve got a new wireless network up and running at home and I’ve just finished my latest project at work.

So - I can finally upload those photos from the states. Some classics from the tubing… but I doubt Cab and Phil will think so!

I’ll be back 26Jul03

Filed under: Friends, London, Random

All change… We’re moving back to London. Change is good, I keep telling myself. Oh yes - no looking back, keep on trucking. And it’s a lovely flat we’re moving to. And that daily commute I loathed so much (how can network south east trains be so crap?) will be a thing of the past. But I can’t help feeling sad for leaving Brighton. It’s a lovely place, especially in the Summer. I’ll be back.

cast those sticks aside 04Jul03

Filed under: Random

Had my first physio session today. For the first time in six weeks - I can walk! I’ve cast those sticks aside and walked. Yeay… Felt good to walk unhindered on this fine Summer morning. Okay - so I might be getting a little excited but it’s been a while. And the sun is shining, my tomatoes are growing nicely and the beans are ready to be picked. What could be better?

off to chase the bright lights of the big smoke 18Jun03

Filed under: Brighton, Friends, London, Random

Well. The people I work for have been bought out and we’re all off to chase the bright lights of the big smoke. No more half-asleep, lazy strolls down the hill to work in the morning for me then. Oh no. Instead I’ll be merrily skipping down the hill to catch the 7.17am sharp to join countless thousands rejoice in the daily commute to London. Wicked.

Filed under: Friends, London, Media, Random

Well - this weekend saw the biggest ever peace demonstrations in London » StopWar.org some people are saying there were 2 million protesting. It sure was busy - took us the best part of 4 hours to get from Parliament Square to Hyde Park. Great atmosphere - photos soon.

i’m back 13Jan02

Filed under: Brighton, Photos, Random, Travel

After several months of travelling, I’m back in the UK - wondering what to do next…
Haven’t really been any good at this blog thing. After Peru, went to Bolivia - then made my way to Australia for another four months. It’s been fun - the photos say it all » http://www.playlab.co.uk/photos/
although, as always, a photo can never totally capture the magic of the places and people i have encountered along the way. it’s been good.

Filed under: Random

well - i haven’t been too good at doing this blog malarky. to be honest i had forgotten about it. anyway - off to south america on the first, so maybe the things i see there will inspire me to get all poetic and creative with my writings.
