Busy times

Hello home,
for most it think that it has been a busy couple of weeks or so and it is certainly the case here. I've changed my mind about 3 times on my holiday, it's no longer a trip to Egypt i'm now going to Ireland to do a round trip of the country for 6 days, even though i nearly went on a cruise around the med. sea for a week of luxury.
holiday link here (dunno if it will click and work)

My glasses finally gave out the other week....well....the arm just broke off again and i lost it in a pub somewhere but its all ok i have my old pair and some new ones are on the way!!!

Recently the local walkabout had their heat of the beachbabes competition and i'll say that it was a great guys night out.

For the grand final - mighty mighty eagles - i tried to get tickets to some pubs that were showing it at 5 in the morning but i had left it too late and they were all sold out!! so i watched the game upstairs in our pub which gave me the chance to have a sleep afterwards which was great!

no pictures for this post limited time things to do

bye bye

1 point!!!!!!

Richmond Park

Alrighty then, Richmond park looks like it could have been used for the filming of Jurassic Park with wide open spaces mixed with some thick vegetation and plenty of wildlife. The place is quite large, about 8km around the riding path which is quite handy wheni need to go for a decent ride after a night on the town.

More importanatly here's a picture of one of our horney friends who live in the park

You can get right up close to these fellas and i reckon you could pat them but i didnt want to get a horn in the head so just settled for the pictures. In the park i saw at least 100 deer in their little herdy things, daddy ones, mummy ones and baby ones.

Now its time to play SPOT THE SQUIRREL IN THE TREE!!!

..........ready???.....(yes)


there it is, not very hard really...harder in real life. Well i need to go now, thinking of a holiday to egypt to see some stuff which should be good.

au reviour, muchus muchus, camel-es

Around the place

Hello people...and others

It's been a busy few weeks with a couple of birthday parties, a bit of monkey business and some functions starting to come along to the pub. Recently I took a squiz at Kensington palace and Kew gardens but mostly went and partied in london a bit so here's a look at some of the people i've been hanging around with at this pub...

ok, we had been out for a while before this picture was taken hence the cheesy looks! from left to right Illious(aussie/greek), Jatin(indian), Myself(alien) & Monica(polish).....we never did learn what the name of the club was!

Ah ..... now the memories come back!

Now onto kew gardens...it's the largest botanical garden in britain and it really was a lot larger than i thought it would be. There were all sorts of wild animals and plants from golden pheasants to kangaroos, artic plants to eucalyptus trees and a peacock or two. In short the place has a whole bunch of listed buildings including kew palace (right), thousands of species of plants either in greenhouses, set up in areas by their family or unique flower arrangements; a really interesting picture display next to an inside climbing area for the kids, some nice ponds & wildlife - all the above mentioned plus squirrels (of course). For all this you pay about 12 pounds, pay a little bit more and you can pot about with all the oldies (luckily they're not driving) on a train like thing which drives on the paths.

Here's a view of the Temperate house, one of the many greenhouses about the place
