After braving the rain, I did a bit more exploring today. Caught a bus to Shepherds Bush. I think this area is in-progress with development of a new underground station and I think someone told me a Westfield shopping mall…there wasn’t a lot open at 10am, so I walked on through..and walked and walked and [...]

Slow start

My plan to get out and about early has been rain delayed slightly. Amazing how quickly the weather changes, all of a sudden after I had just got up and showered, a small thunderstorm hit. Saw the lightning from my window. It is now raining, so I think I can tackle it…Still thinking of tackling [...]
Get Smart in Hammersmith

That’s what I did today…literally! Had a reasonably early start for a Saturday, out of the house by about 8:30, walked up to Ealing Broadway and had a very nice breakfast of coffee, scrambled eggs on toast at a local cafe. Worked out that this is a 35min walk one-way by the way. Then, hoped [...]
Nearly home-time

Only a couple more minutes to go and it is the weekend again! I have spent most of this afternoon putting together the structure of a new internal website (my first one). Think I have a handle on the menu and the pages (using templates) and even libraries make sense (not the book borrowing ones..the dreamweaver [...]

Settling in

Slowly settling into my new home in Acton. Last night had the first taste of underground (trams) challenge, with one of my key lines with major delays, but found an alternative and was only about 30mins later than planned. Went supermarket shopping from there, as needed to give the legs a bit of a break and [...]

Oyster Card

I almost feel like a local with my recent purchase of an Oyster Card, which enables transport on the tube, buses and some train connections. I haven’t quite got the hang of the ‘topping up’ at the machines though. Attempted it this morning, but think I forgot to ok the transaction. Walked away and swiped [...]
Back to work

I got to sleep in an extra hour this morning, and then got the overground and underground to work. It is around 40min trip if all goes smoothly doing it this way. I got in early enough and even had time to get some healthy supplies for the next few days to try and nip my [...]
Kew Gardens

I decided to have a nice relaxing day today after all the moving and shopping, so I headed to Kew Gardens. Only 3 stops away on the overground, it was a very quick trip of about 10mins. I was able to get up, go to the gym for a 45 min walk and get to [...]
