Sapping

I can feel the enthusiasm and motivation being slowly sapped out of me at the moment. What a royal pain in the butt. I really really hope I find out something tomorrow and that the workload takes a turn for the better as a result of everyone else finding out something tommorrow (Wed are usually [...]

Monday

Well, I forgot to adjust my alarm for daylight savings time…so slept in this morning and didn’t go gyming….but did walk to the station and also did a walk at lunchtime down to Marlybone road, quite a nice area.  Ate luxury jellybeans and had too much coffee today, so not a good start to my [...]

Blah

The new housemates moved in downstairs..god its going to be interesting.  They took over the whole floor, including my fridge space in the course [...]

Slow start

After a very slow week, went out for farewell drinks for our GPL, last night near to work and had one too many white wines… They were free, so that was a bonus, but feeling a little seedy.  Need some brunch and so I am about to head out to Richmond to find a cafe [...]

Eye opener

Not something I have experienced and despite the slight temptation to take photos, I will be staying well away.  One of my teammates lives in the area that the summit is held, so lets hope it is all peaceful [...]

Did catch one my workmates (Scottish) saying ‘no worries’ today!! Actually he caught himself so it does [...]

Days 3 & 4

Well, I did run out of charge due to my dodgy adaptor, even borrowing someones adaptor for a quick charge once was not enough, so I missed an update on the last 2 days.  Luckily my camera batteries held up! Back in London – what a whirlwind 5 days, feels like I have been away for [...]

Venice – Day 2

I can’t believe how much photography we have managed to fit into 2 days.  I am totally exhausted from the early morning starts (6 am both days so far) and the amazing opportunities to capture Venice from all angles.  Today we took the boat over to the island of Burano.  After a coffee together, we had [...]

Venice
