Replaced my VW with a Ford
I hope those of you who read my blog don’t think married life has bogged me down as I haven’t blogged for almost 3 months! Whoops. I’m actually enjoying married life very happily but I’ve been occupied with various stuff which I won’t go into. If you’re my friend on Facebook, you will have seen … Continue reading
I got married!
Just a quick post to say that I got married to my wife Akane on Friday 12th August 2011 at The Ritz London. Full blog and photos to follow…
iTunes
Wow. Both my iPhone 3GS and iPod Nano show up on iTunes. Neat. No fuss at all. That’s what I like about Apple. Things just work!
British 10k London Run 2011
This was literally a last minute thing to run 10km, in the 2011 ASICS British 10k London Run! I didn’t do any training or preparation and I was dragged out of bed to Hyde Park corner. It was exhausting, especially the first 6km. I did it in just under 1hr20mins. My only objective was to … Continue reading
Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Monaco
Given the “Golden week” full of public holidays we went on a fly-drive holiday in Southern France. The weather was perfect (bar one day). Our base was Nice, well actually La Gaude near Nice. It gave us views like this in the morning: But the hotel wasn’t that great so we only really slept and … Continue reading
Airbus A380
Had this great view from the tail of the Airbus A380-800 I flew back in from my flight from Dubai to London. Makes me want to be a pilot!
In Mumbai again…
I forgot how Mumbai traffic was. You know at the start of F1 races where 20+ cars try to squeeze onto the same piece of tarmac? Well, that’s what it’s like in Mumbai ALL the time. Somehow, pressing the horn activates a repelling magnetic field that keeps cars just millimeters apart!! Amazing. Oh, and throw … Continue reading
Car insurance costs doubling
No fair. Last year’s premium was £300-£350. I’ve not made any claims and although I’ve changed a few details on my quotes that may increase the premium, I don’t expect it to be more than double what I paid last year! And apart from Admiral/Elephant all other insurers seem to want to charge me over … Continue reading
New WordPress theme
Eagle-eyed readers will have noticed a new look to my blog. Still tweaking bits here and there but it’s a fairly clean theme so I don’t need to do much.
New web hosts
My website is now hosted on some fluffy clouds. Slightly cheaper than my previous host but everything is unlimited. Nice. I might change my WordPress theme if I can find a nice one. I think the current one is nice but my photos need more room to stretch. Hope to get back into the blogging … Continue reading
