Sunrise in Wimbledon. Not bad for the big city.
Friday 17 February 2012
Some more 'out there' shots from yesterday. Cloudy skys, flat light, not the best conditions I'm afraid 
Friday 17 February 2012
Tourist shots: London Eye, Palace of Westminster & Abbey, Admiralty Arch, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace. Phew!
Thursday 16 February 2012
Feels quite bizarre sitting on a full commuter train, with one of those free commuter papers when you're not working & won't for some time.
Wednesday 15 February 2012
Tourist snaps from Piccadilly Circus.
Tuesday 14 February 2012

Lunch at Carluccio's, St Christopher's Place. Nom, nom, nom
Tuesday 14 February 2012
Cold February weekday in Central London still makes Sydney look like the village it is. Even off peak crowds are barely manageable though.
Monday 13 February 2012
Back from a quiet, yet very entertaining evening in a London pub. Who needs a comedy show with friends like these?

Nah, not rush hour & going against flow so all good 
Sunday 12 February 2012
Wildlife in Richmond Park: deer and tropical birds braving the winter. Yes - those birds being here is very bizarre!
Sunday 12 February 2012
Typical tourist shots: Pratiwi at Windsor castle. Didn't have time to go in... or was I too tight to pay?
Sunday 12 February 2012
Outside the Old Barn in Little Marlow. Oh, and red phone boxes being rare and all...
Sunday 12 February 2012
Our home last night: The Old Barn at Little Marlow. Stroke of luck finding this place. Historic & very cosy B&B.

Pictures from that lunch in Kenilworth. Hmmmmm... nom, nom, nom!

Pratiwi posing in the snow in Dad's garden. Does this mean we're acclimatised now?

Tuesday 7 February 2012
Dubai airport very early in the morning: full of people & shiny things in glass cases. Most stuff I looked at is cheaper in Sydney though!
Tuesday 7 February 2012
Some had said that the Emirates 777 would be a bit cramped, but really, where's the problem? 4 seats each. Nice
Monday 6 February 2012
Get up at midday, another farewell, lunch, little walk, spa, re-pack, taxi, check in 66kg of baggage - oops - thank you Emirates Now fly!
Monday 6 February 2012
'In transit' Sorry, this was about as exciting as it got for 24 hours. Emirates really not that bad at all though
Sunday 5 February 2012
... and relax. It's been a very busy last couple of days but finally, nothing to do but relax and look forward
Saturday 4 February 2012
Last Indo meal for a while. Well in a restaurant anyhow. You're looking at my source of home cooked Indo goodness
Saturday 4 February 2012
And she said it wouldn't fit! Reckon I could get 3 bikes, a trainer & the racks in there if we really had to! Ummm

@MarkCavendish I'm all for safer cycling, but asking for stuff like 20mph speed limits isn't going to win friends. It's all about education.
Thursday 2 February 2012
Full of duck & pork & other Chinese goodies. This time next week it will be stodgy pommie pub grub! So thanks all for another send off
Monday 30 January 2012
Bit hot & sticky for running errands. All done now though. The couch is comfy, the aircon & beer cool. Mondays... What's not to like?
Saturday 28 January 2012
Lovely breakfast in Dee Why this morning. Not as chaotic as you'd think either! Feel like I'm going to pay for that ice cream later though!
Friday 27 January 2012
Chinese tourists see Australia as 'lifestyle & environment'? They clearly haven't seen the mess their appetite for Aussie resources make!
Thursday 26 January 2012
Does the fact my idea of fun is 60mins of 5/5 trainer intervals, the last 5 of which were basically 100% HR make me sick? #timeforbeer
Thursday 26 January 2012
Paris-Nice route out. We'll get our 1st taste of Euro cycling Mar 8 on final Montée Laurent Jalabert climb. Might make start on 9th too
Wednesday 25 January 2012
Packing crockery has never been so much fun! The only suitable paper I could find... honest!
Wednesday 25 January 2012
Ooops... another item I forgot to get rid of. Anyone want a Behringher UB502 mixer?
Wednesday 25 January 2012

Tuesday 24 January 2012
Browsing skis. New models sound awesome & would love a pair. But: price checks find the Bandit XX packed for holiday #LifeInTheOldDogYet
Tuesday 24 January 2012
@bikewhisperer01 Yup - The Fozzer was priced to sell and it went real quick. Looked very nice once I'd polished it for hours, huh? #MovingOn
Tuesday 24 January 2012
Goodbye Mr Forester. We had some good times but they just weren't meant to last! *sigh*
