Last weekend was spent up in March and Cambridge with the family introducing Tom to the crowd. Sunday in Cambridge was probably the highlight of my weekend coz I managed to snap two awesome photos.


This weekend has so far been spent having work drinks, Googling geeky things and watching Dharma & Greg. Tonight, it’s Nando’s in South Wimbledon.

On the tube I’m your regular old grumpy bum. I have an urge to staple things to people’s heads when they:
- don’t get their Oyster card out before they get to the barriers
- don’t know how to touch in and out properly
- stand in front of the barriers for no good reason
- don’t move down inside the carriage
- wear a backpack on their back/wear their massive handbag on their shoulder
- during rush hour
- knock me into the gap (it’s happened before)…
The list goes on.
And yet today I found myself being nice to someone.
It’s half-term, the time when I am at my grumpiest on the tube because I just don’t understand why families insist on travelling during peak time when I just want to get home. As I started to watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs on my iPod Touch I noticed a little person peering rounding a pole at my iPod. So I gave him an earphone and tilted the screen so he could watch with me. It only lasted a stop before he had to get off with his family but it was still my little touch of niceness in an otherwise grumpy world where you don’t talk to strangers.

Went out to Brighton yesterday on some cheapo tickets we got ahead of time. Only £3 each way! Only problem it was freezing all day so my sniffle and sore throat turned into a lovely cough.
We met up with Meg and Colin and had a yummy lunch at Bill’s. Sadly missed out on Choccywoccydoodah. Maybe next time.
My initial excitement for taking photos was thwarted by the cold. Stupid cold.

Talk about a picture’s worth a thousand words. I still think about this picture every now and then.

Two years in a row they’ve shut the Circle line for Waitangi Day celebrations. It’s like they know it’s going to be chaos or something!
