The other day my new replacement camera arrived in the mail. I got myself a Fuji Finepix F100fd, a 12Mp compact with a zoom lens. 
It was a little more expensive than the old one that was stolen (about $50) but it’s well worth it.
So yeah more photos to come, and I will most definately be backing all of them up as soon as I can to avoid anymore losses.

This weekend I haven’t been feeling too well, I have a weird infection in my elbow that I am on antibiotics for and generally ain’t feeling great. I took Friday off work too, so today I am finishing some website designs for ‘Tourism Thailand’ (a client of ours) that are needed by Monday.
Ventured out to the ‘Borough Markets’ at London Bridge yesterday after the recommendation from a few people. It was great, loads of fresh foods, cheeses, meats and seafood too. Reminded me a lot of the Barcelona Markets, except they were still better. I had this fantastic Chorizo burger with rocket and roasted pepper.
The weather here is starting to fade away as summer is now over, it’s raining pretty much everyday and the temperature has dropped considerably. Next pay I am going to invest in some more jackets and prolly a few more jeans as I retire my board shorts until next year.
Oktoberfest is coming up in 2 weeks, which I can’t wait for. I leave Saturday morning and come back on Wednesday, so I am taking a couple of days off work but I think I have earned it.
Will be meeting up with Emily, her sister and Rachel from Brisbane as they are all over here in the UK now and also going to Oktoberfest so it will be good to see some familiar faces (even if they are all girls and we are going to a beer drinking festival).
Happy birthday Dad for Wednesday and Happy fathers day for today, I hope you enjoy the DVD’s.

It has only taken me all weekend non-stop to get this thing up and customised to a point where I am happy, but it’s done. I have used a WordPress theme and done some hardcore customising including integrating a tonne of plugin. So I am now all web2.0 socialised!
The photos on the right side are from my Europe trip and are static at the moment, I plan to do more research and write something that can feed these from my Facebook or Flickr account.
If anyone has any comments please let me know. Leyton I know you must have a million changes you can recommend!
Ohh yeah I have managed all this because I have replaced my stolen laptop. Better CPU, more RAM and a bigger HDD ….for £30 less than the original, thank you crack-heads!.

Roman Baths - Bath
The weekend just gone I finally got out of London and visited Bath, a town just outside London (about 1.5hrs on the train). It’s a historical Roman Bath city with “The best preserved Roman architecture”. It was a really nice place but as I don’t have a camera due to it being fuking stolen all I have is the above photo from Wikipedia …although it is probably a thousand times better than one I would have taken. Maybe this is how I can fill the rest of my blog, google image search and wikipedia …soo much cheaper!
Anyway Bath was awesome, I went with a heap of friends and after the sights we got trashed at cocktail bars and then went to a pub for dinner. The place, entire town turned into a meat market after dark though with slappers and knobs out everywhere. I learned later on that there are Universities all around Bath and this is were the students come to drink
*Good news on the photo/robbery front, Flickr had most of my trip backed up so I have everything up to but not really including (only 2 photos) of Madrid. I can redo all my London photos but I am missing Madrid, Rome, Athens and Corfu Island

So got home from work yesterday opened the door with my keys to find my laptop, ipod, Fuji camera and my prized Canon 300D Digital SLR all gone.
Some crackhead had broken into my place and stole all my shit!
Well maybe not a crackhead, keys were used so I assume it was an ex-tenant or someone who got keys cut at some stage in the past. Either way now I have to deal with making an insurance claim back in Australia and trying to get everything replaced. The downside and I mean real downside is I lost all my Europe photos as they were backed up onto the laptop.
The flickr account which I setup stopped working while I was travelling so they are not all there, I do think some are so I will report back.
Really pissed right now though.
