bbbeeeeeeeeeepp beeeeeeeeeepp!

Still, alas, no camera.
However any camera in the world would not be able to interpret the weekend I have had moving house! More importantly, the task of driving around London!
What an event – this started when the company I booked the car with did not confirm my booking, made via email because their website was so shit that all links were unavailable. My several attempts to confirm fell on deaf ears, so I made a mad dash Friday night and early sat morning to try and find at least their address or phone number to contact them. ‘Office opens at 8am’ confirmed via AQA (he/she who knows all) – yet the company still doesn’t want to answer, for the whole of the morning. Tried the airport for weekend car options. Nothing. Went online again and found a company that could find us a car for 24hrs. Excellent. Not perfect,, but would do the job just the same. Better confirm…. Ooopps, sorry, we don’t have that car here – you will have to go into London Victoria! After this trek, we finally (not without dramas) got the car at 2pm.
On a positive note, I got to see a great deal of London and surrounds, an amount that people who have lived here all their lives wouldn’t ever get the opportunity to.

Random bits

It has been a while, but I have been uber busy with my new job - plus my not very old camera decided to go into retirement 7 months into its life, so there has been a slight lack in photos! I am quite devastated!
Been looking into new property options, since our landlady decided she wants the house back. It would be nice to get a house with all the same peeps as now, however we all have completely different ideas of where we want to be, where we work etc. Thats not to say that we wont still see quite a bit of each other - im sure!
Been looking around central London, Pimlico along the river looks like where I wanna be! If I get the place I want, ill ad the links to the piccys so you guys can see exactly where I live!
Went to see Bic Runga (of 90's hit 'Sway' fame) and another Kiwi act Breaks Co-op last night at the She-Bu Empire. Was a good gig, definetly in true Antipeodean cruisy-life style!
Last weekend went down to Brighton. It was so warm - hot in fact! Hilarious to see a billion people on a beach formed from pebbles. Its definetly not Porties, but I liked it just the same (almost!)
Happy Independence Day!
