St Pauls again

Here is another photo of St Pauls in the snow (not as much as last time I posted a photo which was a couple of years ago now in January 2003, you can see that photo by clicking here). The snow we’ve had is nothing compared to what we saw in Stockholm and Scotland over […]

Early morning walk

Hopefully I’ll have our photos from the Scotland leg of our Christmas/New Years break up at the end of this week. In the meantime I have a photo from a walk I took along the Thames this morning. Gary suggested last night that I might want to come in early and take photos of the […]

Summer Storm

Lightning over London Yesterday the UK was hit by some rather heavy storms and they came across west London in the afternoon. These shots have been taken from a couple of video’s a shot with the digital camera from the 15th floor at work, I just rested the camera on a window sill and then […]

Frances & Merv

We have hired a car this weekend so we can go to the Royal International Air Tattoo. Today we took advantage of the extra travel option and went to Heathrow to meet Jenny and greet Frances & Mervyn when they arrived from Dubai. And here they are. Look who we found at Heathrow today

Weather forcasting at a train station

You can tell the weather by visiting your local train station in London. The turn of the seasons means that if you want to know what the weathers like turn up at the station and have a look around. If it’s like below, and it’s June, then you know summer is here. The official reasoning […]

A trip to Highgate

On Saturday we went back to Highgate, primarily to visit the Cemetery. We’d been before with Jenny, Amanda and Daniel but had not entered due to the woman at the gate. There are regulations about what you can wear into the cemetery and on the previous day, in the middle of summer, some of us […]

Howard Shore Talk

Yesterday afternoon we set off into London in the direction of the Royal College of Music. We were off to see a talk by Howard Shore specifically dealing with his work on the Lord of Rings movie soundtrack. There was also to be a signing afterwards, so we had a few goodies lined up to […]

The LST Cricket Team

I don’t think I’m destined to play cricket. Last year I played a game for the LST team and it was fun. I fielded a bit, caught someone out and got a golden duck. This isn’t so bad, I thought. We played the same team on Wednesday evening at the same location but this time […]

The London Eye and other things

This weekend has been good. On Saturday we started nice and early and took a ride on the London Eye. I’d noticed earlier in the week that the weekends weather forecast was good and thought that it might be a good time to do one of the ‘London touristy things’ so booked ahead for a […]

Golf

I played golf in a company competion on Saturday with a couple of Helpdesk people (Paul and Roger)and another person (Cathy) who was drafted in at the last minute (we needed at least one woman and the few woman who were willing to play that we knew about were already in other teams, and Keryn […]

Barenaked Ladies

Barenaked Ladies performed at the Hammersmith Apollo and we attended. One of the many songs performed was called ‘Another Postcard’, which was (or is, depending on where you are in the world) the first single off of the Ladies latest album ‘Everything to Everyone’. The song concerns the abundance of postcards adorned with chimpanzees that […]

The Ladies

Last night, being the evening of Wednesday 29th of April, we attended a concert performed by the band Barenaked Ladies. It was fantastic, I haven’t laughed so much and had such a good time since the last time we saw them play which was in Auckland back in 1999. Barenaked Ladies singing an acoustic number
