Brighton and Tate Modern.

Tuesday, 6 Apr 2010 | Views [598] | Comments [1]

Brighton - early Jan. As I mentioned in my last posting, Anna and I went to Brighton in January and it kicked arsed. It was a spontaneous trip. It was a pretty uneventful morning when I suggested we take a day trip there. Within an hour, ... Read more >


Golly gosh, old chum! It's been a while!

Tuesday, 23 Mar 2010 | Views [467]

Hi guys! It's been a while since I've updated this so I thought I'd best bring you all up to date and write it all down for posterity. I don't know what posterity means, and I'm too lazy to type the nine words it'll take me to input google's search engine ... Read more >


Merry Christmas, all

Wednesday, 23 Dec 2009 | Views [672]

Tried to upload this blog last night but my browser crashes, so my Hemmingway-esque prose was consigned to the annals of cyberspace static. Or something. Well, have finished doing what minimal Christmas shopping I had to do. A bit expensive to send ... Read more >


Greetings all

Tuesday, 8 Dec 2009 | Views [513] | Comments [1]

Hey all,  Well, it's pretty grey this time of year now. Still a bit tough getting used to the day being dark at 4pm, but that's England for ya. Not really a lot to report, I suppose. I've been looking for work now that my website is up and running ... Read more >

Evening all, Have been doing quite a bit of house-hopping of late, after Notting Hill, I went stayed in a couple of hostels in the city, a part of an experiment to see what it would be like to live in them for a while and also to give my mates a bit ... Read more >


Hanging out with Hugh and Julia in Notting Hill.

Thursday, 1 Oct 2009 | Views [417]

Not really. But I am in Notting Hill and I have to say, if I could afford to live here, or if I thought I was cool enough, I'd definitely live in Notting Hill. You see, if you walk down Portobello road, you'll see some of the coolest people wearing ... Read more >


Two journal posts in one day? Wonders will never cease!

Wednesday, 23 Sep 2009 | Views [674] | Comments [2]

Forgot to mention a few things in that last posting. Thursday 17th: I caught up with a friend Michelle from Verdon. Hadn't seen her for about 13 years so it was good to find out what had been going on with her and her friends since the Verdon/Uni ... Read more >


Still in London - job hunting time

Wednesday, 23 Sep 2009 | Views [629]

Hey guys,  No updates recently because I haven't done a lot lately! It's pretty good having lots of free accomodation as I housesit my friends places. The downside is that I'm house-sitting on my own which means having to talk to the voices in my head.... Read more >


Clapham, Theatre and Regents Park

Tuesday, 25 Aug 2009 | Views [649]

Right, so currently I'm staying Clapham after a week in Raynes Park. Tim and Kelly are away so I have a bed, which makes continues my pretty good run of sleeping spaces. So far, I'm yet to really sleep on couches very much at all. Nice. Haven't done ... Read more >


Nothing much to report, but I did play some cricket

Friday, 14 Aug 2009 | Views [300]

So yeah, haven't really done much lately. Funds are slowly decreasing although I have been keeping an eye on them lately. The good exchange rate (1.97 to 1 the other day!) means my dollars go a bit further. All I've really been doing is looking after ... Read more >


Rye and London

Monday, 3 Aug 2009 | Views [648]

Ahoy me hearties, Monday: On Sunday night, got a text from an old friend from Invercargill, Mike Gane. We used to live on Anglesey street and play heaps of cricket together. Anyway, he was taking an early morning trip to Rye, a small and extremely ... Read more >


Edinburgh, then back to London

Tuesday, 28 Jul 2009 | Views [520]

So Edinburgh was pretty cool. Lots of fat people, everyone smokes, and everything is deep fried. Luckily Steve's a good cook, so I ate pretty well. Monday: Took a walk around Edinburgh city and a typical rainy Scottish summer day. The most annoying ... Read more >


Scotland. More specifically, Edinburgh.

Sunday, 19 Jul 2009 | Views [478]

Ahoy, me hearties.  Not a lot has happened since Spain. I went back to London, stayed at my mate Tim's house in Islington and ate more than my fair share of gourmet hamburgers. Lots of nice places to eat in Islington and I found a great place called ... Read more >


La Linea and Gibraltar

Friday, 10 Jul 2009 | Views [564]

Saturday - early start, getting up before 7am and took the train to a Algericas which is very close to La Linea, where Ian's grandparents live. The train wasn't as nice this time and had strangers sitting either side of me. Long trip (five and a half ... Read more >


Barthelona, Valenthia (sic) and Madrid

Friday, 10 Jul 2009 | Views [598]

Friday 26 June - Roasting day today, for a change (!). We kicked off the day around 11 or 12 and headed in toward Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia cathedral. It's quite a touristy spot there with queues stretching around the corner to get inside, so we ... Read more >


Hola. No hablo Espanol. Siento.

Saturday, 27 Jun 2009 | Views [476] | Comments [1]

Hola. Wednesday : Got up at 4am to get to the train station in Sheffield. Didn't get much sleep as I stayed up most of the night packing and making sure I had everything.  Forgot to mention that on the Tuesday, I went out for lunch with Ian and ... Read more >


Sheffield and Leeds

Saturday, 27 Jun 2009 | Views [310]

Greetings all, Bit of an update while I've got the chance. Everyone else is hungover after a night in the hostel in Barcelona, so early morning on the bunk-bed is probably the best time to update. Monday: First of all - Sheffield. Have to say, ... Read more >


Second week in London

Sunday, 21 Jun 2009 | Views [391] | Comments [1]

Hello all, Week two in London has been pretty good so far. The body clock has adjusted itself so my sleeping, eating, and I suppose pooping patterns are in synch with the locals. Monday : Took it pretty easy after a busy weekend and read a book ... Read more >


First week in London

Monday, 15 Jun 2009 | Views [401]

Hello all, Well, have nearly been here a week no and so far, so good. Might be easier to just break it down day by day. Monday : Arrived with a minimum of fuss. Pretty long flight but not as draining as I thought it'd be. Abu Dhabi looked like ... Read more >
