Walks - Mid 2011

Jobless, going into debt..ah what the hell. It hasn't stopped us from still having load of walks. Here are a few more shots of around Colchester, South Downs and the Thames Valley.

Around and About London - Mid 2011

Since I am resting and cannot hope for a holiday in the distant future. Here's a load of photties from around London. There are some from Hyde Park, Blackheath and Greenwich where my friend Rosa is currently working as a teacher. Hope you don't mind all these photos but someone asked to see them. So you can blame her.

..and finally a parting shot I took at a party in the summer. I was pissed as a fart when I took it, far drunker than I normally get. At the time I was in the throes of my experience of working at a Call Centre. I guess it was this, coupled with my bubbling-over blood pressure, that made me decide a life in the Call Centre was not for me.

A Long Gap

I guess as an indication of my current mood, I haven't contributed anything since August Bank Holiday. I guess that was about the time I started my 5 week experience of working in a Call Centre. I think I might write a proper piece, when I'm feeling suitably driven.

I have worked on this. http://songlineschoir.co.uk/.

In the meantime, Kate has moved to Colchester. So rather than wallow, here are some pictures of the place, including the impressive Firstsite Gallery.
