Site News ( 2 photos )
I've just uploaded a fairly major site update.
In terms of new content, have a look at the Home in London page. A little sparse at the moment, it has however been updated for our new home.
There's lots more behind-the-scenes change to speed it all up and make it easier to maintain.
The URL you want to be accessing this Europe page through is http://www.reverb.com.au/europe/ - please update your bookmarks if you are still using the old page (you will know because the URL will end in .cgi) - this will be removed shortly.
As always, please let me know if you find any strange bugs around the place. Nobody's perfect, myself most definitely included.

Tim: Left to fend for myself ( No photos )
Liz is up in Milton Keynes visiting Meaghan. She drove up yesterday morning, got stuck in traffic on the M1 for three hours (ouch), and spent the night there last night.
I don't know exactly what she has been doing, but I got a call late last night where it sounded like the two of them had been having a celebratory night our together. And that was only 9pm! It must be that silly 11pm closing time that is the law here.
She should be back down here today some time, and is planning to come in and meet me after work, when I intend to have a relaxing time after eighty-plus hours work in the last nine days.
We are aiming to move to our new place tomorrow, which should keep us busy. We don't actually have a parking permit yet so not sure how we will handle that one.
This morning I noticed that Blackalicious are doing their thing at the Jazz Cafe in Camden tomorrow evening. We haven't been out to anything like this for a while so I'll see if I can convince Liz to come along. That is assuming, of course, that the move goes well.

Liz: Having a Ball! ( No photos )
On Friday, Meaghan and I awoke feeling slightly worse for wear, before we headed back up to Meaghan's work for her next shift, and then I headed back down to London.
The drive home was almost as bad as the trip up there. The weather was shocking (I know, I should expect that in England), and most of the way home the rain was so heavy that it was virtually impossible to see the car just in front of me. I made it safely home with all my limbs intact, and not a scratch on the car (more to come about that in a bit...), and spent the rest of the day being lazy and watching TV, only moving when food supplies were desperately needed.
Tim arrived home from work late that night, and we went up to the local chain pub for dinner and to try and remember what each other looked like because we had hardly seen each other all week.
