Bumping into friends in London

KERRAZY, went to London last weekend and it was smashing, and we bumped into good chums Ralph and Linda and baby Astrid in GAP, what are the chances of that? OK, we had already arranged to meet up with them earlier that day at Pain Quotidien, which w...

Great weekend (belated weeekend-o-blog)

Great as in really good and great as in just enormous, fitted quite a lot in. Clare was out in London Friday night, and had got a hotel so I was planning to meet her later and we'd stay over so as to have a nice Saturday there too. Work is busy as ev...

Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Hope you've all had as good an extended weekend as I have. As is usual when I've been off for a few days and not written up just went on immediately, I'm starting to forget it all. We're up now, on the last day of our five day break and I have a few ...

The rest of the weekend

Went to The British Lion Saturday evening, and then sat up far too late when we got home listening to old Ricky Gervais shows. Sunday started late, we shopped, we cleaned, we ate, that was about it. Still tired today.Haha boo hoo, leave me alone, it'...

Weekend! Curry! Spazzy twitches! Everything!

Great weekend, bailed out of work slightly early and got the train to Mum and Dad's, for a nice long relaxing weekend. As previously mentioned, Clare was in London drinking and dancing with her friends, and definitely not lighting fires, and I was he...

Particularly fulsome weekend, with curries.

Splendid weekend, a bit different this time, starting off with a half day on Friday. I headed to Winchester to meet up with some friends, and really needed the extra time to make the most of the night. Clare stayed home watching Children in Need afte...

Rugby, RESULT

What a great game and result on Saturday! we started off as usual with a trip to Canterbury, where there was a local food fair on, with stalls and demonstrations and things, and lots of local food producers in attendance. Got some bread and some plan...

Been away a long time (apart from my little post this morning about wireless things) and we fitted quite a lot in really, felt like a proper holiday since my complaints about QI.Our afternoon out in Canterbury was good, though not absolutely everythi...

Canterbury weekender

Had such a great weekend, it's taken me days to recover, and I've not fully gathered my thoughts. I'm in danger of forgetting everything though, so It's time to blat out a mini review.Friday started how all our Fridays used to start, with a trip to C...

Belated weekend roundup

Weekend start sort of badly, and then sort of worse, and then actually got going really very well indeed. Train home hit some kind of delay, caused by some kind of delay on another train. That's as much detail as we've come to expect in the non expla...

Weekend report

Super weekend, starting with The Mighty Boosh at the LCH, funny, good, we felt a bit old though, they do attract a young audience, lots of whom were dressed up. I maybe enjoyed the show a bit more than my companions, though it did feel a bit like a c...

Erk, work

I get in this morning and have urgent work waiting for me right away, this is not a good start to the week. We had a bit of a refit of IT around the office, so there are a few snags to sort out, think it all went smoothly though. Had a very quiet wee...

Tres productive weekend

Finished the wardrobe at last, doors on, shelves in, etc. The room's looking a bit bare now without clothes hung randomly about the place, I'm sure we'll soon sort that out.Saturday shopped in Canterbury, and went out in Sandgate on Saturday night, f...

Lovely weekend, thanks for asking

Had a few beers on Friday night in The Coal Hole on The Strand, a few more more than the one I intended, but great to see people. Was running late (having put the popex redesign mostly live), so had to get a cab there from work. It's stupid but I fel...

Los Angeles

So, we sadly had to leave Santa Barbara, and we drove on down to LA... Was a bit intimidated at the thought of driving in LA, I've only driven London once or twice before and that was a long time ago, mostly I've only done gentle village roads. The j...

So glad to be back...

Bah, back to work today... sorry not to ahve updated, couldn't be bothered over the weekend while we were catching up on real life. Got some honeymoon pics here, though they're not captioned up yet and might not make a lot of sense. Yes, lots of squi...

Bank holiday WEEKENDER!

Stop panicking everyone, I'm back, reporting on updates of the weekend... Quite literally THREE PEOPLE said on the phone that they thought something was up / I'd gone away somewhere because the site wasn't updated over the weekend. Sorry! How will yo...

Weekend review

I did a massive amount of driving at the weekend, borrowed a car and went to Bluewater. We hit some insane rain on the M20 and had to pull over until we could see again. It feels like the sort of place I ought to go "oh no, we had to go to Bluewater"...

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Well, great weekend in London with all the family, though it got off to a bit of a damp start for me... Left work at 5, picked up some beers and headed to our hotel to meet Clare, and got caught in the FIERCEST downpour ever! Frantically tried to dry...

Who is Doctor Who?

Did you see the Titanic connection in the new Doctor Who last Saturday? There's a picture here, supposedly of a family about to board The Titanic, but were put off by The Doctor.I think it looks like Christopher Ecclestone has been photoshopped into ...

Old Street Art Pranks

Saw a wacky situationist prank at Old Street this morning, a breakfast table set up on top of a bus shelter, with bowls, cups, plates, milk jugs, the lot. Snapped a pic but can't get it off my phone until I get home. It's got a mention in London By L...

Bonus day!

Hmm, not a bonus earning type of day, but rather an extra day to the weekend... worked out that if we stay over in Folkestone on Sunday night too, I can still get up at normal time in the morning, use my return train ticket without paying any excess,...
