UK Diary: Day 5

Friday, July 28th, 2006

We had a day in Southport today. It was great to catch up with Andy Hui who just happened to be back for the weekend. Although I like Southport there was very little to do that we didn’t do 12 months earlier so we met Lisa and hers friend Crista and Lee in […]

UK Diary: Day 4

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Mum, Lisa, Tik and I took the dogs for a long walk around the Lydiate Loop today.  We were still experiencing a heatwave so we had a good opportunity to enjoy a nice picnic.  The dogs got to swim in the canal.
 

UK Diary: Day 3

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

We had a lazy day today as we had little we really need to get done.  Lisa drove us to visit grandpa whom I’ve not seen for 12 months.  As ever her was delighted to see us and alive with conversation.
Tik, Lisa and I got quite excited today to discover a huge collection of childhood […]

UK Diary: Day 2

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

Mum only had a limited time off work so today we visited Old Rufford Hall. Unfortunately as I arrived I realized that my camera battery had died so we had no opportunity to take any photos. We stopped there for lunch and returned home mid-afternoon.
That evening we walked the dogs on the beach. […]

UK Diary: Day 1

Monday, July 24th, 2006

Our United Emirates flight was as comfortable as our Singapore Airlines flight last year. We’d arrived three hours early at the airport and were offered the chance to take a flight earlier by one hour. Logistically it gave us 1 hour less to wait in Bangkok and 1 hour more waiting in Dubai […]

Time to Say Goodbye

Sunday, July 23rd, 2006

After a nice evening out with friends and a mad shopping spree to get gifts it’s about time I turn this computer off and get ready for our flight.
We’ll be back in a month when I’ll have a new telephone number.
Anybody needing to contact me in the UK can get in touch with me via […]

Papaya (yum), Pineapple (yum) and Raw Potatos (?)

Sunday, July 23rd, 2006

Above you can see exactly what was presented to A and I this evening to eat. Tik prepared us a plate of foods yet saw nothing strange in the fact that raw potatoes were served as part of our fruit platter.
“Yes, but they are sweet potatoes” she tells me, assuming this will explain the […]

A Great Website for Professional Eaters

Friday, July 21st, 2006

I found this website today and was so impressed with the style it was written in that I decided to mention it here.
This very humorous website detailing all the hideous foods Steve (the blogger) is about to eat.
Click here to view it.
Not only that but the writer has many more articles which I’m really excited […]

More Engagement Photos Added

Friday, July 21st, 2006

We’ve added all of our engagement pictures online now.
I’ve jiggled a lot of the photos around now so that they are labelled and they have been moved to a different part of the photo album.
You can see all the pictures here

Tik Aces her IELTS Practice Test

Friday, July 21st, 2006

We all know how clever Tik is but as her fiance I’m allowed to brag about it.
Tik took a mock IELTS test about a month ago. IELTS is an internationally recognized English qualification which Tik will need when we apply to emigrate to Australia.  This was a free test to give her an idea […]
