So Friday I moved offices from the 2nd floor in our building to the ground floor, the office is huge now and our London office is merging with us too so I am quiet excited about that.

After a really hot day I picked up some steaks and Coronas on the way home from work and cooked myself up a meal then sat back and watched some episodes of Weeds. It was a good way to end the week.

Saturday morning I got up early and went for a walk in the park near my place, need to try and get a little exercise as my indulgent eurotrip has left it’s mark on me. Going to look at joining a gym here too just got to find a good one I can get to on the way to work.

So after that I went to the ‘British Motorshow’ and it was umm well massive. Compared to the Brisbane Motorshow anyway. It was about 4 or 5 times larger inside and had a massive outdoor section with a race track and 4×4 demos. I also got a photo with James May’s “Rozzers” cop car from ‘Top Gear’ which was cool and got to check out the new Skyline GTR and the new WRX STi. There were many of other classics there as well as a little special car that would be perfect for Justy.

Saturday night I went to a club at Brick Lane (a famous London street for Indian food), was an Australian girls birthday that I meet the weekend before. I met some pretty cool people and we all got pretty wasted, it was great.

Sunday I felt pretty crap so went out and got some late breakfast/lunch and watched ‘The Dark Kinght’. I really enjoyed it even though everyone said it was a little overrated. I would say it was Heath’s best performace and if the Oscar is for best supporting he probably deserves it.

Anyways I am hoping to go away to Scotland this weekend either Glasgow or Edinburgh.

London Roller Girls - Summer Shovin

On Saturday night I was invited to a new sport, it’s an all girls roller derby…and it was fantastic!

The girls all dress up in shorts skirts, fishnet stockings other various accessories and then they skate around smashing into each other to score points. There are a few more rules and such but that’s pretty much the gist of it. There were proper refs and loads of spectators, a really professional show, definitely going to go to the next one.

Below is some video I took whilst sitting on the side line during the final quarter!

This is my London Travelcard, it get’s me to and from work each day and gives me unlimited travel on the London Underground so that I can get from my house to the Waterloo…where my train to work leaves from.

It cost me £277.70 or $568.81 Australian Dollars! So it’s currently my most prized possession.

Work has been pretty good lately, been doing heaps of design work and am currently working on a new version of one of our sites and my boss has started teaching me Linux, PHP, and SQL

Looking for some new hosting too at the moment, got the latest hosting bill and it’s just too expensive for what I am getting (Australian hosting is just expensive) so I will be moving to either a US or UK host before the end of the month. Hopefully no one will notice any changes and thus have no problems but if you do let me know. Damo, Martin, Justin and Mum you all have email with me but if all goes to plan I wont need to do anything.

This is a Northern Territory Barramundi that my Dad caught a few weeks ago whilst on a fishing trip. It was 1.16M long and must have weighed a tonne. Not the record but from what I hear pretty close.
This weekend I am going to the London O2 Festival which should be good, no Amy Winehouse but Counting Crows, Powderfinger and my favourite Jay-Z will be there.
