No more visitors. We're out of room on the photo tree...

We're running out of room on the visitors photo tree thingy that is on our mantlepiece.

This is most of the people who've stayed with us since we moved to London, but there are still a few of you who escaped without leaving us a pic. We know who you are. Don't think you'll get away with it...

West Hampstead going to the dogs

Look how classy our neighborhood is becoming.

Usually you just get push bikes chained to posts with their wheels kicked in by bored or drunk vandals.

This takes that process just a little bit further. This is on our street just about 20 meters from our front door.

I think it used to be a Vespa.

More proof that the UK rail service sucks

I had to go to Sheffield for the day yesterday for a meeting, and I can't believe what they charged me for a day return train ticket: £99.00.

That is unbelievable. It only takes about 2 1/2 hours to get there on the train. And it wasn't a fancy shiny new express one neither. Just some old rattler...

Finally got the better of the UK Parcel Force system. They've been holding a care parcel hostage that Jamie and Robyn sent us ages ago. We've been pleading with them to deliver it to our local post office, and finally, they actually did.

Picked it up on Saturday. And it is a doozy! One cardboard beer case box crammed to the gunnels with Vegemite, Chicos, Violet Crumbles, Tim Tams, Twisties, Natural snakes. We are in hog heaven.

Thanks guys!
