pushing the sky

Place your bets! Which one is Sydney (Winter) and which one is London (Summer)?

It’s approaching the end of the day, Friday. I’m getting ready to go to Option C to sign a contract or whatever – basically to finalise on the call I made the day before to say “yes.” When, ring ring… Me: “Hello, Karan here.” Caller: “Ah, hello Karan, this is Anna, from the…?” Oh, it’s [...]

There’s a comic in the London equivalent of the MX: (click for readable view) For some reason, Em (the blonde girl) reminds me of Hui-Ai. (so wish this comic was published online)

Police have defused a bomb in Central London – Haymarket, in the West End (more at the BBC and Sky) I’m nowhere near it, but… shit. =/ Ed 1: One person has pointed out that “this was the location of a gay pride parade” scheduled for tomorrow. Another person points out that the car would [...]

The venue initially looked promising, but those without a reserved table were [...]

It just wouldn’t be London, even in summer, unless the skies were grey and the rain was a constant threat, right? That’s been true nearly every day now, with the only concession to summer being patches of sun that do appear in between. Motor Expo Hot, hot cars. This was no ordinary motor show – [...]

Ok quick update of what I’ve been up to the last week: Working (naturally) London Motor Expo (more later probably, with photos) Wandering the West End (I was looking for a gallery – found it, couldn’t find the entry =S) House-hunt researching Drinking (only occasionally but more than Sydney) (pints are tough to get through) [...]
