Vegetable Stew...

Went to see Stewart Lee again on Wednesday night. I last saw him around this time last year with Kevin and he was just as funny. Very good jokes about Guardian readers, Godzilla and comedians who do charity gigs.

Everytime I go to comedy I realise I should go more often. Laughter is so good for the soul - and sometimes it can be in short supply in day-to-day life.

Start of the Xmas silly season

Simon had his annual birthday do on Saturday - that always seems to signal to me the start of the xmas party season.

Last year it was the day we had finished the London Loop - although it was much colder on Saturday. Hard to believe that was a year ago though. Although re-reading my posts from last year Simon's birthday party didn't even rate a mention!

This was a good one though - very chilled out, lots of sparkles and lots of good chat :-).

Bit of rugby, bit of sparkles...

Good day on Saturday :-)

Started off by heading off to meet Owen and some of his friends to watch the AllBlacks play England - I showed my support by wearing mainly black, my 'Born Here' t-shirt, my icebreakers t-shirt - so very NZ! Game was good - I certainly got enough stick from the English - these people are so rude! They barely know me and were giving me stick about the ABs peaking too early... :-). I'm dreading the World Cup next year!

Then it was off to Blackheath to meet up with Nicola and her friends to wander up to Blackheath to see the fireworks display. Photos below and on Flickr - it was a good display, and it was free. Always a bonus!
