Catchup

Well, I've not been on here much. It's all to do with work, and then commuting. It's got knobs on it.

Last weekend I went up to Play festival - an 'object manipulation' festival (read: fire twirling) in Shropshire, about 2/3 of the way up the welsh border with England, and 30 miles into England from the border. It was about a 3 1/2 hour drive from home.
The festival was held on a lovely organic farm, and there was lots of workshops and stuff, a great main show on Saturday night, and got to catch up with some people I have met before, and meet new ones. It was good.

Now its back to work. I am still doing the same stuff: digging ponds, and building access roads to them. Plus we are starting landscaping on the completed bits of the sides of the motorway, so that will keep me busy too.

Richard is back on suicide watch at his new job. Wants to throw himself under a truck. (Note: this is a joke, he wouldn't really do that... I think!) But it's how he feels about his job. He's very very busy, and doing a hell of a lot more than he should be. But that's our Rich.

At the moment we have no real upcoming plans.... We think we should take a weekend away somewhere soon though. Gotta have something to look forward to.

Lord's

Well, last Monday it was my birthday. DOn't worry if you forgot, everyone else did too.

We went to the cricket at Lord's on the Sunday, it was pretty cool. Richard was most excitable.

India V England, 4th day. It ended up being a draw due to the rain, but ti didn't rain when we were there.

No, we didn't JUST go to the cricket for my birthday, we also went out for dinner - just locally to canary wharf - and I got chocolates and body shop stuff, and Richard is getting photos from our trip blown up to frame.

Home

This is a pic from the fron of our apartment complex. In the distance the fancy white building with the dome is the Greenwich observatory. In the middle distance is Richard, and Trish.

Also, here is a pic of all the vegetables I got in my 'suprise' vegetable box I got delivered - its all local, organic. And it doesn't come on plastic trays, inside plastice bags, with cardboard wrappers around it - which is how everything comes in the supermarket. And it lasts more than 2 days - whcih is how long supermarket fruit n veg generally lasts... I mean, they have to send it to three different sorting and packaging factories, that's after it is shipped in from Kenya and Egypt and gawd knows where else, no wonder it doesn't last long!

On a positive note about the supermarkets, I bought guineau fowl breasts the other day!!
