Having been too young for Woodstock and too poor for Live Aid, I have always wanted to go to an all day rock concert. I finally got the chance as my friend Mike was able to get tickets to Live Earth. Actually, he too is a member of tenUK, or as I like to call them, the miracle workers and they were able to get him six tickets. So, relatively early in the morning, Jeremy, Mike, Sabi and I headed out to Wembley Stadium for the event. We met our friends Vere and Henry there and the six of us spent the day listening to music. For those of you who missed all the drama because you don’t live in London, Wembley Stadium has been around for years. In fact, Russ, Kate and I saw Helen ... read more

I decided that I might do a “day in the life of” entry seeing as I still don’t have a job, and as a result have copious amounts of time. I decided to go around and take some pictures of the local neighbourhood, but then my batteries ran out, so there are a few pictures to keep things interesting (well… moderately so). The little cars I found very amusing. I was trying to work out whether A: The driver of the orange ridiculously small car, was trying to show the owner of the grey ridiculously small car, exactly what you can do (and the versatile parking tricks) with ridiculously small cars. B: It was just a coincidence that two ridiculously small cars were parked side by side in a ridiculously small space, or C: I busted ... read more
