Oh MY GOD!

I am so behind on here, totally sorry, but I have just been enjoying myself in Egypt with Mark for the last 10 days. No laptop was taken, no mobiles were on. Bliss. Back to usual on here soon I hope but I have a whirlwind of a week or so ahead with the dwindling of days that are leading me back to Australia. Sigh.

Ps saw Kylie Minogue tonight at Miss Polly Rae's Hurley Burley burlesque show, and I had better seats than Miss Minogue. Oh and Boy George was there too. Show was brilliant, couldn't have been better if Dita herself was there, though would have loved to see the act with the champage glass.

Quote me...

"A little too much anger, too often or at the wrong time, can destroy more than you would ever imagine. Above all, mind what you say. 'Behold how much wood is kindled by how small a fire, and the tongue is a fire' - that's the truth."

From "Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson

My Phone Envy

It seems the i-phone is now the toy of choice, and I want one. Why? Because everyone else does and its JUST not fair *stamp feet and pout* that I don't. I even had a bit of phone envy on friday night as Brien, Amy and then Mike, had their toys out comparing the latest free application they have downloaded for their phones, on their incredibly cheap all inclusive plans.

Mike, Brien and Amy with their I-Phones

I know it should be that a phone is a phone. You pick it up, press buttons and call someone, chat and hang up. Yes... No.... Then there is texting. You pick it up, press buttons, then a few more and voila you have text someone. You put phone down and await a reply. Yes... No... Its so much more than that.

There is an application to help you randomly decide where to eat, you get Facebook, free internet, apps to play old fashioned Atari games, YouTube, apps to know where to stand on the tube so your right near the exits. Yes, incredibly nerdy. BUT I WANT ONE *red face, fists banging floor*. Sigh.

Worst thing, the other morning a girl on the tube was taping away furiously on her Blackberry (really I am not going there on my want of the NEW purple Blackberry), me slightly jealous. THEN she pops that away and whips out her I-phone. Grr now have serious phone envy issues.

Maybe when I am back in Australia... *sigh, further sigh and big tut and huff*.

Photo of the Day No.32 - Fifteen

Dinner at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen Restaurant, near Shoreditch and Old Street in London. Very Italian very unusal, but extremly tasty. No we didn't see Jamie.

PS I know my Photo of the Day are not exactly always awe inspiring, but I think I have come to the conclusion that my Photo of the Day will be a mix of my photography development and events/dos/happenings of our life in London (what remains of it)

Photo of the Day No.31 - So Long Farewell....Tufnell Park

The last photo of us at our flat in Tufnell Park, just minutes from leaving, our mini cab is in the drive behind us. We now live in Bush Hill Park, quite North but still in London!
