London Snow

On Tuesday night it snowed in London, the first time snow has fallen in London in October since 1934. 

I was sitting on the computer and noticed the sky was a weird orange colour but didn’t think much of it, an hour or so later as I was going to bed I looked out the window and my back porch was covered in ice, but so was the trees and the fence…it was snowing!!!

I took a couple of photos but it was dark and they didn’t turn out well, so above is a nice one google provided.

As I said before on Wednesday I got to go and see Seal perform live at Ronnie Scott’s a really famous Jazz bar in West End. The gig was awesome and I meet some cool people including Seal’s manager.
I was meant to have a meeting with Seal and his manager after the show but Seal got pulled away for TV interviews, fingers crossed I will get a chance to speak with him once he comes back from shows around Europe.

This weekend I saw the new Cohan brothers movie ‘Burn After Reading’ which was really funny, and quite dark. classic Cohan brothers.

On Saturday I tried to go to the gym at Baker St as it only just opened but when I arrived it turned out it was a ‘Black Label’ club and my membership doesn’t allow me to go there, so feeling like a second class citizen I just walked home.

Saturday night was really good though as we went out at Covent Garden to a few pubs and then to a club called ‘Roadhouse’ which was like an American rock themed club (looked a lot like a Hard Rock Cafe). There was a cool live band and the music they played after was awesome, however the £12 cover charge and the expensive drinks probably make it a one night only thing.

On Wednesday I have been invited by Seal’s manager to see Seal perform a private set at a famous club in West End called ‘Ronnie Scott’s’. He will be playing classic jazz songs from his new album Soul.
Seal is a new client of ours and I have the privilege of designing his new site www.seal.com and updating his social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. I will post some pics from the event later in the week.

OK so I have been back in London for a few weeks now and just been a little lazy on the blog entries.

What have I been up to? …umm I have been working pretty hard, we have a heap of client work on lately which has been keeping me busy and I have finally just started on doing some work for Seal which I am pretty excited about.

Have been spending my money on drinks quiet a bit too, the picture above is from a night out in Gilford with a few guys I work with. Catching the tube home after a night out drinking is always a challenge.

On the weekend I visited the New Era: LND store (the place that makes those caps with the gold sticker that people leave on) and it was amazing, I didn’t get anything though cause the styles I wanted didn’t fit my big head (7 1/4 inches) but I will be back.

To finish off I have finally joined the gym again, Fitness First because I can go to any of their gyms in London which will make things easier for me on the way to and from work as well as being able to go to one near my place on the weekends. The hard part will be getting rid of 9mths of eating and drinking to excess.
