Well, this year certainly has been interesting with high points like our wedding and low points like putting my father into a nursing home. The best and worst of times. We are feeling a bit better after our bus incident yesterday, my head hurts the most but everything else is repairing itself. Didn’t do too [...]

Shopping This morning we went to Wood Green since they have a lot of shops there. We managed to buy a new lamp and a pair of shoes for me. It took quite a lot of effort buying the shoes, going from store to store, but eventually found a wonderful pair of CAT‘s….and they were [...]

We went to the RAF Museum in Colindale, North London, today. Actually it’s not too far away from us in Camden. The museum was much larger than we had expected with at least three hangers of old flying machines. It was really my thing but Don enjoyed it very much…in fact, he will probably go [...]

Today was a lazy-ish kind of day, just went to do a couple of chores round Camden in the morning, a bit of tidying up but more relaxing than anything. This afternoon was a little stressful because of the woman next door neighbor swearing at the top of her voice again and banging music from [...]

Today we met up with my work colleague, friend and photographer of our wedding Jason and his partner Tom. We went to Laureate restaurant in Chinatown and I think they were impressed. Certainly better than their last experience at Ping Pong of which you notice I don’t post a link to! Afterwards we went to [...]

As you can see from the photos below we arrived at Camden Town tube station this morning to find that some idiots had vandalized the entire station. When we came in the entrance the station manager had a sign up to apologize for the vandalism but didn’t realize the extent of it until we were [...]

This morning we went downtown expecting there to be hundreds of raving rude loonies doing their last minute Christmas shopping or going out for entertainment…however, there was hardly a soul. Fantastic! Our first stop was to Cybercandy, the store that has candy and various other items from mainly the US (see picture above). We picked [...]

Don and I went down to Upminster to visit my family. The train journey was long as our usual line is out of business for a while. So we had to go from Camden to London Bridge to West Ham to Upminster. A round the houses trip as they would say here. We wrapped up [...]

Not the average rest and do nothing birthday that I had anticipated! Early this morning I went down to Bond Street to finish off my Christmas shopping. I couldn’t believe how quiet it was on the tubes but maybe I was expecting the worst! I got off at Oxford Circus by mistake and just decided [...]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh gawd. My workplace is certainly a trial. There is another chapter in the exciting boss taking only half the department out to Christmas dinner saga!! Well, the christmas dinner was his birthday party…but the person who was circulating the rumor that it was a christmas party and told the head of everything about [...]

This morning I went to a Post Office behind Euston Station (actually the picture in Wikipedia is complimentary compared to what it really looks like) to pick up a parcel that couldn’t be delivered. It was a bit scarey, the staff certainly weren’t in the Christmas spirit…but at least I got in and out of [...]

On Saturday we went down to my mother’s to take down some Christmas presents, have quite a bit to deliver and need to do it over two weekends! We didn’t go see my father, he has scabes and didn’t really want to catch it! We stayed down there for lunch and left soon after. The [...]

I didn’t write much during the week, kinda busy as usual. I managed to get some Christmas shopping done this week, it had to be outside of office hours but still did kind of well. A mix of going after work and organizing home delivery. Certainly websites like Amazon have changed the way I shop [...]
