Just missed out on another Saturday night, thanks to the Rabies vaccine. It was to be a party full of frenchies too, and the flat got to go except for me. Bleeuurrgh. It's about 11.30 and I shouldn't be here until 1.00. I swear I'm due a bit of good karma. Yesterday, while the others slept it off, I went up to Spitalfields (or what's left of it), and then wandered up Brick Lane. I was aiming for a vintage shop I've been meaning to look at, but it was closed. Typical. That's how it goes in this town. Afternoon was better. Jim took me out for Tapas, somehow the flat ended up watching 4 hours of South Park, we spent a bit of time being very mean about the people coming to look at Rémy's ... read more

Hi everyone In sunny London at the moment and it is actually sunny (except obviously not in an internet cafe). So far have been hanging with my good frieend shannon and catching up with people. We went up to Billericay, Essex on the weekend to see Emma and Kevin who were the couple who got married in the cook islands earlier this month. We had a great time and I still feel full from the traditional roast we had yesterday. Will write more soon and promise promise promise to upload some photos soon kyles ... read more

Here is my first travelling blog, which I'm not sure what to make of. Not very exciting yet as I'm still at home in good olde west country but we will be adding loads of highly profound musings and breathtaking photography whilst we find ourselves. I think I'm hiding under the sink. Still got lots to do and lots to pack. 1st stop Quito. Hazar!!!! Our excellently devised plan and no doubt not quite so well executed is this: South America (Equador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina and Easter Island until xmas eve (have no Christmas day as crossing over the date line). Then in 2006 New Zealand, Australia. Then South East Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Bali). All sounds so easy. IF ANYONE HAS ANY USEFUL TIPS, THINGS TO SEE/DO OR PEOPLE FOR US TO ... read more

Is it just me, or should bus drivers not heckle the passengers? Just this afternoon, as I'm taking the bus here to the library, this happened: I tried to catch the bus and was about 6 steps too late to actually flag the driver down so I could board. Luckily another bus running the same route was about 45 seconds away and was approaching. (They aren't supposed to follow each other so closely, but in this instance I was glad they were...most of the time, I'm just missing the second bus and have to wait absolutely forever for the next bus.) I step onboard, with my bus pass out to show the driver and he asks me what the sign on the previous bus said. Now, with a bit of incredulity, I respond, "Pardon?" because I ... read more

Right, well this will be the last time (for a while) that I'll be able to post photos on my blog as my camera got stolen last night at the Em Dee gig. shmeh. Shit happens. HOWEVER, the gig was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Although it may be hard to imagine, I danced harder than I ever have before (had a dance-off with Lukas too- he seems to have just as much energy as I do!) I also saw and said g'day to the Panda Band- a band from Perth who know a mate of mine, Jeff Strong- and I told them to say g'day to him as I drank my Little Creatures Pale Ale. :) I tell you what! It was the most Australian night I've had in ages! And I loved it! :) That was because ... read more
