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
Technicolour

Moved
The guestbook is working again. I’m sure you wanted to know. The boxes are gone and we’re all settled in the new place now, it feels mostly like home. It’s nice to be in a smaller town again, it just feels better I guess.
Easter in Venice
Our Easter in Venice was very relaxing, for once we took a holiday and didn’t spend most of it rushing around. We only had vague plans of what we were doing each day and enjoyed ourselves wandering the streets of Venice and visiting the outer islands such as Murano where the fabled Venitian glass is […]
Moving to Brentwood
As I said, all is now well… other than the guestbook not working anyway. We’ve now moved into our new place in Brentwood and are in the middle of unpacking the many boxes that are stacked around the place. Last night we went back to Friern Barnet and cleaned everything so all is now sparkling […]
Changing
You may notice a few changes and a few things out of place. Don’t worry, all will be well soon.
Shall we go?
I’ve just noticed that Sarah McLachlan is playing in Stockholm in November: Nov 04/Thu, Stockholm, Sweden, Sodra Teatern. Maybe I’ll convince Keryn that we need to go visit Patricia and Sam around that time… so many travel opportunities, so little time (and money).

Sarah McLachlan
I went and saw Sarah McLachlan (or Sarah McClaclin as the presenter insisted on calling her) yesterday evening. Took a few photos, some of which can be found here: …Sarah McLachlan…. It was a good show, five songs followed by a signing. I am now very much looking forward to her concerts in London during […]
