Welcome back Bryce, HB Bek

I haven’t got a lot of time today, so I’ll quickly get into the main points:
1. Bryce is back in town for the weekend. Hooray! We’re having lunch today and getting into the premiere of season 2 of LOST.
2. Rebekah is as old as the rest of us. Well, not as old as Lara, but [...]

Much to report

Hey all,
It has indeed been a long time since I’ve written anything here, so you can be glad that I’ve got a lot to tell!
Interestingly, there’s a series of Friday birthdays. The 16th was the Belgian exchange student Laureline’s 18th Birthday, and my 21st was on the 23rd. The 23rd also happened to [...]

Cest

Here is version 2 of the Christmas chart.
Is anybody keen for a SLC this Sunday? It’s time to start a new season, so we should probably get into it. It’ll give people an opportunity to get ahead of Leyton again :teehee: I was thinking maybe this week at Southbank somewhere? or maybe … dare I [...]

Hey I can’t stay at

Hey I can’t stay at chat for long today - it’s a Lara Day at work, so I need to be busy to set a good example. :teehee:
In all seriousness, HB to my broly Woo, who turned 21 on Friday. He had a strange, but fun, party Friday night, and a keg was almost drained [...]

owies

Hey so here I am, back and surly.
My back hurts … a lot. There’s nothing much that can be done though, so I’ll just suffer, but never in silence. You’ll hear all about it, every step of the way.
Stupid Caroline invited me for lunch today - I think she wants her backpack full of free [...]

Sore hands?

Sawadee Kap is my greeting of choice today, not the Hola or Buenos Dias that I have been getting so used to. :frown: It’s been hard, actually, adjusting back to non-Spanish pleasantries - I kept saying “Gracias” to the German airport staff, and I keep stopping myself saying “Uno mos per favour” (one more, please) [...]

exhaustion

Well, by now, I’m completely exhausted. I think the show is now all over bar the shouting - tomorrow is a half day, and we’re allowed to pack up our stands at 1:30pm. I’ll be down the beach drinking sangria, trying desperately to recreate the feeling I had on the first day here.
As you may [...]

Coupla days

Hola again from Hispania.
The show is not going particularly well - there’s not a lot of attendees, down 25% from last year according to the rumour mill.
I’ve been invited to speak in London and Scotland next month for a post-Brainshare conference on the 19th and 20th October. This could be good for business, of course, [...]

Sightseeing in Barcelona

Hola Muchachos.
Yesterday was our sight-seeing day in Barcelona. Caroline is a real task master, we saw everything.
There’s a Tourist Bus, callled “Bus Turistic” which was E17 each for unlimited hop-on, hop-offs on the 3 circular routes - Blue, Red and Green. Our hotel was a short walk from the Green route. We started out at [...]

Rox my Sox

So this week’s been quite fun for me, with lots of things happening. Had a test on maths teaching at uni last Monday before going home to veg. We won the first game in ages at netball by about 10 points, which was refreshing. Then after the game I went to choir, [...]
