Phone-Tography

• Tube Journeys


• Close Encounters


• Walking at Night

What do you think? Does it work? Not such greath quality cos they are all taken with my phone!

Technosaturation

Just read this post on Wired about immersive technological culture and how hard it is to disappear from tech radars. No mobile, no IM, no email... Sometimes you have to ignore it all just for your sanity?

Friends at pick me up couldn't live without their mobiles and tried to find their friends in London without them. Impossible?

Hmmm... I have to use IM, email and mobiles for work. But maybe it would be quite therapeutic just to turn it all off sometime. Anyone else want to try?

ThorpingtonBridge

Well it had to happen eventually. The calling of the Bridge is just too much. Thorpington's leaving do was infused with beer and gambling.



So after a miserable attempt to play electronic horse racing we settled instead on playing 'Shoot the pot'. Well when the pot was £30 and then Nicky only shows me the 2 of diamonds. I had to go for it. Well at least she bought us all champagne with her winnings... which might explain this mornings headache?

BBQ Summer

So I am in London to catch the tail end of summer. It's still warm here, well kind of, but at least it's not raining.


With that in mind my Sister took it upon herself to invite us round for a BBQ. Luckily she goes out with an Australian and everyone knows they have BBQ-Sauce instead of blood. Cue arrival of delicious pepper steaks!


Fat freddy is once again full of food and content...!

English Breakfast

So getting back to London I am already back in the fitness thing.... Fat boy style! Working hard all day means you need to start off with a decent breakfast. I could have attacked the Kaya in the fridge but I just couldn't resist.

Hmm... Maybe I need to start running. Where is my inspiration?
