Posted on March 31, 2014 by Gary

Finally, after such a long time and determination, I visited the Museum of London, Docklands this morning. And what a brilliant museum it is. Having dropped Mirinda off at the ferry, I wandered around to the closest Starbucks for my … Continue reading →

Back to Farnham

Posted on March 30, 2014 by Gary

There was me, thinking I’d be nicely ensconced at Canary Wharf for, at least, a few days. How silly. I didn’t manage to finish everything yesterday so, this morning, I had to take a train back home to finish off … Continue reading →

Living in London

Posted on March 29, 2014 by Gary

Posted on March 28, 2014 by Gary

It’s a door

Posted on March 27, 2014 by Gary

The wall is joined

Posted on March 26, 2014 by Gary

Bathroom and study

Posted on March 25, 2014 by Gary

First thing, I sent off a list of the bathroom units we wanted to John at the bathroom shop. While the actual bathroom and layout is not changing, everything in it, is. We are seriously not going to recognise our … Continue reading →

Replacement

Posted on March 24, 2014 by Gary

Not a lot to report today. The builders didn’t turn up and I spent most of the day in the house, packing and chucking. I am truly amazed at how much stuff we’ve managed to conceal in our tiny house … Continue reading →

Sky ice

Posted on March 23, 2014 by Gary

Having spent the night at the flat, I was part of the surprisingly crowded Sunday morning move out of the city. Or rather, out of Canary Wharf into the city. I left at 8am and was amazed at the amount … Continue reading →

Long boats and Weasels

Posted on March 22, 2014 by Gary

The last time I went to the British Museum with the Weasels, it was to see the Pompeii and Herculaneum exhibition. At the time, I complained that it was too crowded, making it very difficult to appreciate the whole thing. … Continue reading →
