Aaron n Emma

Thursday 13th December On my ride to work this morning I spot layers of ice on the road, footpath and cars for the first time. My fingers and ears copped the 1°C temp the most (note to self - buy some full finger gloves and wear beanie next time!) and it was a bit sad to be happy at entering busy Marylebone St with it's abundance of warm exhaust fumes. Luckily I had my riding mask filter on. Tonight I had my Christmas work dinner at a restaurant/bar called Browns a few streets from work in Bank. I grabbed a seat next to Paul, Sean and Mark some of the highest positioned traders in the company. I soon found out that they were probably some of the biggest drinkers as well and it wasn't long before ... read more

Monday 26th November Slept all day, ate nothing, feel like poo. Wednesday 28th November Tubed it to work, still feelin' dodgy. After work I met up with Cam for a pint at O'Neils and to collect £200 the greedy landlord had held on to for the bond. Friday 30th November Today I saw James May from Top Gear at a Leadenhall Market book store as he was about to do a signing for "James May's 20th Century". The line was already too long for me to wait in my lunch break and the book didn't look that interesting to me so I papparazzied him and took off. On the tube on the way home I ran into John who happened to sit right next to me (small city) so we went out for a few drinks ... read more

Monday 12th November This morning I escorted Em through the busy London streets to London Bridge where we found a Pret A Manger (a popular cafe that's infested London) for some breakfast. 'Twas only 2 degrees on our way in, it's getting colder here! Wednesday 14th November Once again I'd scored some tickets to be in a television audience and this time I was to see a new game show called "Nothing But The Truth" from the one and only - Jerry Springer. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry! Yes, there were a few in the crowd chanting the familiar chant, including an absolute muppet sitting behind us who would have copped a knuckle sandwich if security hadn't asked him to leave. Unfortunately, Jerry has a knack for finding some of the biggest numpties out there. This was a ... read more

Tuesday 30th October Today I went in to Leicester Square again for the première of Juno, but once I got in I found out Jennifer Garner wasn't to be showing up. I noticed there were a regular group of people who attended all the premières and I got talking to one guy Johnny, who, just in the last month or two had gotten photos of himself with Tom Cruise, Geoffrey Rush, Heather Graham, Judy Dench, Jamie Foxx, Kylie Minougue and Scarlett Johannson just to name a few! I can see how people become addicted to such pursuits. Wednesday 31st October Tonight, the annual National TV Awards was being held at the Royal Albert Hall in Knightsbridge. As it was on the way home from work, I dropped in for a look. There was still a few ... read more

Wednesday 17th October Em got the job she applied for, nannying for a little two year old girl, Olivia. It's only about 4kms from our home, over in Camden, which beats travelling half way across London every morning to a different place each time. She beat four others that were short-listed, even though she was asking for more than the others. Must have been that Aussie charm. Good one Em! Saturday 20th October As it was only 3kms away, we thought we'd ride down to "Little Venice" in the area - Warwick Avenue. You wouldn't have thought it, but London and the whole of England for that matter is full of canals and longboats. You could pretty much travel all over the country via the many waterways snaking their way around the country, and lots of ... read more
