Rhiannon doesn't agree

(In fact, she thinks i'm kind of nuts) but this is possibly the coolest, Ever. We've been hearing for days about how it's going to snow. It was supposed to snow on Saturday, etc. It's now Tuesday.

And I'm disappointed, because by the time we woke up, there was already white outside, so we actually missed the first snow of the year. (Incidently, it's not even December yet.)

Oxford St Christmas lights

Today, coincidentally, coincided with the American Express VIP shopping day on Oxford St here in London. Basically, they closed the street to through traffic, and only allowed pedestrians.

We needed to buy a proper winter jacket for Rhiannon - her leather jacket is not only old and sullen, but also not really keeping her warm. So despite the cold weather, the threat of the first snow of the year, 1 blocked nose, 1 chest cold, 1 head cold combined with spacey, out of this world feeling, we ventured down to Oxford st, leaving our warm, comfy abode about 2:00pm.

Finally...

We have uploaded a selection of photos from our week in Paris, including EuroDisney, Versaille, and that big pointy steel thing.

You can find them all in a slideshow here
Along with our entire France trip here
The Summer Odyssey here

And of course, the whole shebang here

There is over 600 shots in the summer collection, so have some spare time :)

Weather's here, wish you were fine.

As you may recall, we left in February. At the tail end of yet another Melbourne heat wave. It was kinda cold when we got here, but we adjusted, then it became a lovely, warm, sunny summer, not just here, but also in Europe.

It's now November.

More Chip Flavours

So I see that recently, my post on Chip Flavours has been quite popular. (Yes, that's right, I'm a little man, sitting in a server room, looking at everything you do. I can also Read Your Email.)

So, I thought I'd write another post on chip flavours. This one refers to chicken flavoured chips, and is quite pleasing, while saddening at the same time. So let's crack on chaps. (See how I dropped some english-speak in there ?:P)

Chip flavours!

Our weekly food shop at Sainsburys was undertaken today. Since our relocation to Kilburn, we've found it necessary to go to the Sainsbury's at Finchly road, which is no big deal. There's another one down the bottom of Kilburn High Road, but it's a small minger of a store, we were actually disgusted by the state of when we were there the other week.

A French Dinner...

As Rhiannon was working it the city this week, we've been travelling in and home together. Except last night, I finished at 7. So she met me at work and we went out for a bit before heading home.

Ahhh unions

Last time, it didn't bother us so much - we weren't getting round so much. But today was the next in a series of strikes orchestrated by London Underground employees. If you're not aware, London Underground runs what is colloquially known as the Tube, moving more than 1 billion people a year. It's a vast network, with heaps of interconnecting lines, so you can almost _always_ find a way to get where you're going.

Anyway, this week, Rhiannon had to work in the city, meaning we can catch the Tube together, which is fun :) Until the union workers strike, throwing the entire transit system, and likely the city, into disarray
