bu-bye

i'm off to budapest with my mummy.

check back next weekend for a picture update.

the domino effect

i was going to blog about the curious incident in the pound shop on sunday...but alex beat me to it and i don't think i could have typed it any better.

happy st patrick's day

damn the irish make good cheese.


there was an irish market in covent garden today with many a cheese stall. i had to limit myself to 2 varieties of cheese as i really could have gone overboard. why is irish cheese so creamy, flavourful and delicious?

i also had some great irish pie and mash. YUM!

i like al gore

i was listening to my regular radio station the other morning and to my surprise the special phone in guest was al gore. i like him even more because of this interview. he was chatty and entertaining while being concise and political. he also laughed (what i interpreted as genuinely) quite a bit which made me smile.

he was plugging a new tv network, i unfortunately do not have fancy pants cable as 5 channels does me fine, so i can't watch it...but there is a pretty good website. current tv.

have a listen to his interview with lauren laverne

vancouver island is annexed!

there's a show called 'monster moves' on channel 5. big things are moved a variety of distances; last week a grain silo was transferred to the next town over. on this week's show...

a victorian villa is shipped from canada to vancouver island.

blood red moon

the weather could not have been more perfect for last night's lunar eclipse; there was not a cloud in the sky. alex and i took a drive out into the kent countryside where the only light was that of the full moon. ever so slowly the moonlight faded into a red glow. magical.


i unfortunately have lost my tripod, as the moonlight faded so did my picture quality. i just can't stand still enough in comparison. but as fuzzy as my red moon is...it's still evidence that i was present.
