I've Lost My Shoe!

This week's commercial plug goes to a band called Bad Lizard... Tim, the drummer used to play in Ripcord, the band that I was the techy for and toured all over eastern Europe. Anyway, Bad Lizard are a very funky band with a new funky video. They have released a CD which can be bought on this page. Make sure you download their video, and visit their website.

Garden Flowers

Here is one of the many flowers in our garden. We've got lots of roses - thousands of them!!! - but sometimes its the little ones, hidden away, that look the best!

UPDATE 2005-10-05: I have now added the rest of the pics of the garden to our main website. Please click here to view them. Posted by Picasa

Fiery Japanese

This weekend we travelled up north to go to a family christening, but also to go to Big Dave's Big Stag Doo!! We went to a Japanese place where they cooked all the food in front of you on a hot plate. The chefs made it really interesting and put on a real performance - juggling wih eggs, rice and knives!! They even got us to participate - although some people ended up with egg shampoo! I managed to catch some fried egg in my mouth as it was flicked across the table! It was a really fun evening - the food was great, and it was good to catch up with old friends. Posted by Picasa

Kites

Last month Ang and I went exploring in north Essex, looking for a new place to live - nearer Finchingfield where I work. We stopped off at a kite festival which was fantastic! It was like watching the Red Arrows!! They were flying in synchronised formations to music - one guys even flew 3 stunt kites which would normally require 3 hands! We both agreed that it would be great for a wedding. This photo was taken with my rubbish camera on my phone. Posted by Picasa

TWO SHOT T-Shirt Anyone?

Want a T-Shirt? One of my mates has got his own clothing label and is about to go to the London School of Fashion. Have a look at his website for some of his funky designs and buy them before he becomes famous and charges ?100 a pop for them!! His label is called TWO SHOT. Posted by Picasa
