To all those who commented on the last entry - thanks. It is good to know that there are people out there :) Thought I should post today to mark the fact that it was 5 years ago today that I flew from Prague to London to start my London life. Crazy how quick 5 years can go. Here is the post from 5 years ago - makes me laugh. Must have been an awesome keyboard i was using! It is strange.

Okay. I stopped posting photos every day here ... because .. well ... i am not sure anyone really reads this anymore. Or maybe you all learnt chinese and now use it as your commenting language of choice .... Anyway ... there is still a photo a day ... you can find it here.

Pottery from Fes - my only souvenir from Morocco. Well not strictly true - also brought back a dodgy stomach !! The joys of travelling :)

Well i made it back safe and sound. I took heaps of photos but its going to take a while to get them up on the net. I learnt the hard way that you can still get dust in your camera even if you dont take the lens off .... will be prepared next time. In the mean time some of my photos are going to require a fair bit of dust spot removal :(

All packed (nearly ...) and ready to go. Off to Morocco for a couple of weeks, then a week in Spain. Just checked the weather for Marrakesh - next 4 days all 35 degC plus. Ouch. Be just like being back in Adelaide !! Also means that, apart from one last photo tomorrow, the blog will be going text only for the next few week or three.

Beers after work in the Slaughtered Lamb. Turns out The Slaughtered Lamb is also the name of the pub in American Werewolf in London. Also turns out that some of the American Werewolf in London was filmed near where I work. Time to revisit an old favourite ...

Okay - so after the rather dire photos for the weekend - hopefully these are a bit more interesting. Revisiting some old haunts that I used to frequent before we moved office a couple of years ago. Yes - the green plastic tree is back :)

The idea was okay .... the execution lacks .... I have a feeling the stretch between the train station and my house might become pretty well photographed unless i make more of an effort to take the photos earlier in the day !

So. I guess the previous photo is a good example of why I shouldn't leave taking the photo of the day until I get home, especially after a very long evening in the pub. What a shocker. Anyway ... I was in Oxford Fri / Sat for a conference, hence the lack of posts. Never fear - I do have photos though.

What a rarity - a photo of me on my blog AND a photo by someone else on my blog - 2 treats in 1. Anyway .... taken standing on the shore near the start of the Lindisfarne (Holy Island) causeway. There is just something about this photo that cracks me up ... good times.

Well ... I had hoped to do them over the Bank Holiday weekend (i.e. this weekend) - but have been out most of Saturday/Sunday and then spent today cleaning the house in preparation for finding another flatmate :( Anyway ... here is one for now. It is a photo of the ruins of Dustanburgh Castle off in the distance taken from the north.

After uhmming and aaahing for ages about where to go on holidays, I have decided to stay in - wait for it - England. The initial plan was to do some walking in the Lakes District but due to my sheer lack of organisation and the fact that it is summer school holidays - that didnt look like it was going to be very easy to get sorted.So have settled on the Northumberland Coast - home of Lindisfarne

Caught the train down to Folkestone last weekend for an overnight camping trip by the sea with the ex-Nix crew. Stayed in the The Warren campground and did some walks along the cliffs between Folkestone and Dover. Was great to get out of London for the weekend ... definitely have to get out camping more often.It is an aerobie on my head - don't ask ....

Well I am back from Glastonbury now and almost recovered. What an awesome time !!A mate picked me up in his car on Wednesday morning (5am!) and we headed off. Turns out we werent the only campers off to an early start - there was no shortage of cars on the motorway packed to the roof with camping equipment. We arrived near the site at around 730 in the morning, only to be caught in a long

Off to Glastonbury tomorrow at some ungodly hour in the morning. 5 days camping down on Worthy Farm. Please let the rain stay away .....Anyway ... I might even come back with some pictures to post. Wouldnt that be a turn up for the books :)As for what else is going on - not much. Still working @ the same place. Still living @ the same place. Have nearly been here four years now (end of July

I was sitting in Singapore Airport starting a new adventure - waiting for a flight to Beijing that would take me to the start of the Trans Mongolian Express before travelling across to Europe and then finally to London.  3 years 11 months later I am waiting in Singapore Airport waiting for a flight to London to take me to, well, work.  How times change :(Sadly my 3 weeks of holiday are over

In keeping up with tradition , I am posting from Singapore Changi Airport.  Got to fly on the new A380, that thing is huge.  Sadly I didnt splurge out on one of the suites, instead settling for the  character building cattle class.   The inflight entertainment has had a bit of a revamp - you can now take your own usb stick on board, plug it into the seat in front of you and watch your own movies,

A couple of weeks ago I took a long weekend and spent 4 days in Berlin. I stayed in Penzlauer Berg, a suburb in former Eastern Germany.  It was a really interesting area - lots of cool little bars and places to eat.  It was a pain not being able to speak German - I really hate trying to order things in English :( All I really mastered in the way of German was "zvei becks" - but hey,  it went a

After my previous foiled attempt to fly to Romania for work a month ago, I succeeded getting there last week for three days. It was a fair hike getting there - about 7 hours airport (Heathrow) to airport (Sibiu), via Munich - so I was pretty tired by the time I got back home Friday night. It almost snowed the whole time I was there. Fortunately it was only light snow or I would have been

What an awesome day. My commute was largely unaffected - managed to catch a train in after about 1/2 hour delay - nothing too serious. I really wanted to go in to work so I could take some photos on the way rather than work from home !! Here is a selection of photos from today.

The snow kept on falling during the night. All the buses have been cancelled and quite a few of the trains too ! Its going to be an interesting day. More snow forecast too ... will have to get some more photos. Shame I have to work, although I might end up having to work from home.

Yes its a day late for Australia day - but hey - it seems apt considering I just booked flights (ouch!) to Oz for Easter :). If you live in Perth, Adelaide or Melbourne then hopefully I'll be able to catch up with you.

Just got back from my day trip up to Birmingham to see the scroll of "On The Road" by Jack Kerouac. The scroll was, well, a scroll - but it was really cool to see it after reading so much about it a few years ago. Crazy to think it was last bought by some football club owner in America for US$2.4 million dollars.   What was probably more interesting than the scroll itself was an interactive

The cool thing about this manuscript is that the entire novel was written on one continuous roll of paper so he wouldn't need to change pages and interrupt his stream of conciousness
