Dark and cold....

I'm sitting at my desk, its 2:30pm and thanks to a suffocating cloud cover, theres nothing but gloom outside. It is cold despite the blazing sunshine this morning, so current weather is a bit sad really. Can't complain much though, despite all of the warnings the weather has been really good from the start. Yeah, its cold now, but only outside, heating is a part of life in the same way that air conditioning is a part of life in brisvegas. Definately manageble.

Not a lot to tell. Birthday was fabulous, had a big p!ss-up at an old man's pub near work. Most of my new friends came along, most of them were very sick the following day. I was also, and had to be reminded that I had become engaged to a kiwi. Apparently a breakfast invitation and a marriage proposal got mixed up somehow, Louise ended up leaving the pub with my keyring firmly placed on her engagement finger. Apparently the wedding is scheduled for May if anyone wants to come along. I have insisted that the marriage be an open one, which hasn't impressed her too much though, it may be short lived.

Not much else to report really. Had a friend down from Scotland for the weekend, went on the tourist trail and showed her the sights. The highlight was probably Abbey Road. The road itself is quite a busy one, and the famous pedestrian crossing is quite close to an intersection. On the day that Mia and I were there, there was about 10 tourists anxiously waiting for a break in traffic so that they could pose a la the beatles. Of course, this being a city where everyone seems to be impatient, cars who were held up by this display of pure tourist evil were forced to sit at the crossing and honk their horns until people stopped having fun. It was pretty funny to watch.

Anyways, someone sent me a postcard, for which I am very grateful. I couldn't understand the first joke, but the second one was very funny. I would be happy if the person who wrote it would please own up, honestly don't know who you are.

See ya.
