A walk in the fog

The past two days, London has been pretty much under fog. Maybe 50m visibility, maybe less. Bethie and i took a short walk in our favourite park this afternoon, so i took a few photos.

Park

Took a walk today.





What's a walk in the park without a beer on the way home? To be sure, to be sure.

Curry!

Decided to cook a hot Chicken Madras tonight. Delicious! Quite hot but not the hottest ever, though i did sweat a litre or so...



The other pan is my flatmate's Chilli Con Carne, which was also quite good.

Bethie of course couldn't eat a hot curry, i took this when i suggested some chilli's would help with her sniuses...not so sure she'll give it a go somehow...

Skype! and late and early sun.

It's a great thing to be able to have a video chat with folks back home. Beth's here Skyping with her sister Sarah, while i snapped away with the Chili's on the cans.








And a couple of mixed shots from the past few days. Around 0degC when i took these!

Winding your way down on Baker Street

Caught the tube the other day, to Number 2 of my English music destinations. It was again surreal to be in the spot that's mentioned in a famous song/album, while listening to it on the trusty iPod.

I imagine it's quite different to what Gerry Rafferty was seeing 30 years ago. Baker Street is also slightly significant to me as my uncle called my folks from a phonebox here, to see if I was yet born, though the song wasn't released till the following year.

A better future

I was online, watching the results of the Federal Election back home come in, I looked out into morning sky, wondering if the Labor's Party's figures would hold up.

Could it be true? Could there be more smart people out there than i'd thought, this time 'round?

Sure enough, there was and Australia's citizens slaughtered the old conservative guard in the only real poll and convincingly voted for a new Prime Minister.

About bloody time.

Aussie Democracy

Gotta love Australian democracy! Even when you're not in the country, you can vote!



Beth and I rocked up to Australia House today, to vote in Saturday's (Oz time) Federal Election. I got ahead of some other person, simply because the scrutineer is an Eels fan. Good move wearing the jersey Luzzo ;)

God i hope the decade of disgrace can end.

Go Kev.
