This weekend I went and saw Electric 6 play in London with some mates. In case you aren’t familiar with their work they’re responsible for such classics as ‘The Gay Bar’ and ‘High Voltage’. They were great but I must say I was impressed with the support band, Tragedy – A Metal Tribute To The Beegees!

The rest of my weekend was pretty quiet as I am trying to save money for Christmas holidays. I am going to Bruge in Belgium.

Last weekend I went to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park with some friends. It’s was mostly for kids with a heap of rides, stalls and outdoor ice-skating but with a major German influence and as I have become a custom to with that you’ll find beer and sausages. Fantastic!

We wandered around for a little while taking in all the so obvious German Beerfest themed attractions and drunken German figures dressed in Christmas costumes. The ice-skating was completely sold out so I will have to go back, probably once I am on holidays.

I tried some winter Egg-Nog for the first time at one of the stalls, and it’s quiet different to the Egg-Nog I use to drink in Australia (ohh and just so you know there is no iced coffee here anywhere – it doesn’t exist) , mainly the extreme amount of alcohol in it…even for me.

So after I threw the last half of it out I went back to the classic…Bier.

Yesterday my work gave me a new work phone…an iPhone!

It’s reward for all my hard work on the seal.com website and other things.

So I’m still getting use to it, especially the tiny keyboard but here is my first post with the Wordpress App from the Apple iTunes App store.

I haven’t posted for awhile so I thought I would just let you all know nothing much is happening over here. It’s pretty cold now and most the leaves are all gone. I am crazy busy at work these days but that’s me.

Above is my own Park Avenue, my street in North West London.
Hope everyone is enjoying the heat back home.

Friday night I went to Roller Disco with my work mates and Emily. We all dressed up in 70s and 80s disco costumes after work, had a few Stella’s and raced off to Vauxhall for Friday night Roller Disco

I can barely remember the last time I roller skated but it was back in Katherine and only briefly before we got roller blades. Turns out it’s much the same and I did alright, in fact we all did pretty well.

There were loads of great costumes there (and some very wrong ones) and totally can’t wait until the next time we go.
