This morning we did a nice boat trip round Lake Geneva. After two days of hot weather our last day here felt quite cold especially on the boat!! It was a great trip and learnt a lot about the lake and the buildings that had been built on its banks. At lunch time we went [...]

This morning we went straight out to the United Nations area of Geneva, which was about 10 minutes on the tram away from our hotel. We had a free pass for the tram but there was no one to check tickets anyway! We found a fountain area and took our pictures outside the United Nations [...]

After our Tallin holiday was messed up by eBookers and Estonian Air we were very apprehensive about this trip to Geneva and whether we would get there! We left from London City Airport which was the first time for me, second time for Don. Oh my gosh, it was so stress free compared to Heathrow [...]

Once again we had a weekend of hell with the neighbor’s continuing to mis-behave themselves. Continuous shouting, banging and so on. Again, I sent another email to the housing association, the landlord of these idiot’s, who wrote back saying they tried to meet with the neighbors but had canceled in advance. Prior to them answering [...]

Not quite Estonia but we did have a pleasant day in Windsor and Eton today. We took the train from Paddington to the central Windsor station, the train service was pretty good and surprising on time. They have a large shopping area as soon as you stop off the train…no doubt to tempt all the [...]

Today I was not in best character at all. We got up really early this morning, our taxi arrived on time and got us to London Victoria to catch the Gatwick Express. Got to the airport ok and checked in without any problem (!!!!). Gatwick was hell, huge amounts of people with staff who didn’t [...]

Well, I am completely shattered! The problems with the neighbors is starting to hit me now. I have a constant headache and just can’t get anything else achieved. Trying to get people to address the problem is a huge task, people’s attitude’s are really poor in the UK and seriously lazy. Today I had a [...]

Saturday we had our friend Ed round. He bought over his turntable for us to borrow so Don could record all his vinyl’s into MP3′s. Ed also had dinner with us and Don cooked up an amazing Japanese feast. In the early hours of Sunday morning, between 1am and 3am the neighbors went on a [...]

Another week has gone by. Don had an excellent performance review at work and I would expect nothing less. I did my usual comic shopping in Forbidden Planet tonight, I usually do it locally in Camden at Mega City Comics but they are so miserable in there I hate spending my money and get “I [...]
