A new Woody Allen movie staring Mr Allen and Scarlett Johansson. The filming was taken in front of the Citypoint Tower just down from work so I took a late lunch and wandered past to have a look. It was all very low key, no security to speak of and just a few people ushering […]
Coldplay
On Monday night we attended the biggest concert we’ve ever been to in the UK, or anywhere for that matter. We had a half day and travelled in the early afternoon to Crystal Palace to see Coldplay perform at the Crystal Palace athletics stadium. After a long lunch at a greasy cafe (only made long […]
Tsunami Benefit in London
On Monday night I attended a 20-20 Cricket match in aid of the those affected by the Asian Tsunami earlier this year. An International XI lined up against an Asian XI at the Oval in London. Gary had purchased tickets and a bunch of us from work made our way to the Oval to watch […]
A birthday in Hyde Park amongst other things
Fawzia turned 30 yesterday We are in the middle of a heat wave in England at the moment. Temperatures are over 30C and it is very humid. Yesterday we were in Hyde Park for an afternoon picnic celebrating Fawzia’s 30th birthday and I’m fairly sure that a good proportion of London turned out as well […]
Not grown up yet
It’s been a busy week. On Tuesday I took part in what would have been called a working bee in NZ. A month or so back there was an advertisement on the company Intranet for volunteers to help out with clearing an area at a school with a view to building a new garden area. […]
Missy Higgins @ the Shepherds Bush Empire
Another day another concert. We’d been and seen Missy Higgins in the past opening for Ray LaMontagne, this time she was headlining her own show at a bigger venue. Finishing work at 5pm we caught the Central Line from St Paul’s westward to Shepherds Bush. It was a drizzly evening so heads down we tramped […]
Marwell Zoo & the New Forest
On Friday we hired a car and drove down to the south coast making our way towards Marwell Zoo just outside of Southampton. We were both booked on a photography course being led by Andy Rouse, a well known wildlife photographer. Following the course we had a couple of nights booked at a B&B in […]
Is Summer actually coming?
Yesterday I played Cricket for the LST team again. The last time I played was when I dislocated my finger and it was at the same ground in Herne Hill against the same team. I’m happy to report that I sustained no injuries other than a few small bruises this time. I also managed to […]
Seeing KT again
Just quickly… I saw KT Tunstall perform at a free in store appearance tonight. Afterwards she signed stuff for those who wanted and I got a photo taken with her (taken by Mark who I meet at the gig). Here we are. KT Tunstall and me

May Day 2005
We had the first of two bank holidays in May yesterday. It was nice to have a longer weekend and the weather wasn’t to bad for most of it either. On Sunday we had an afternoon of wandering around the Docklands area and then spent the later afternoon at a pub called the Dickens Inn […]
