New Nikon DSLR
It appears that there is a new Nikon DSLR set to be announced in 16 days .. 10 hours ... 20 minutes ... Should be interesting .... 10.2mp. Sweet.
Garden Rescue
After a few months of neglect A and I decided it was time to reclaim the backyard. Since winter the garden of the house next door has been the source of a rampant creeper which had taken over most of our backyard, making it almost impossible to even open the back door. Enough was enough. We headed off to B&Q to buy some hedge shears (where we spotted an actor from the Bill ... ). Back to the house and then 6 full garbage bags later we had our garden back. At which point it was time for a PIMMS or two ... even though it was actually raining - Not that I can complain about the weather. Has been a "heatwave" over here the past week = 30+ degrees ! Nice.
It's A Shame About Ray
Went and saw the Lemonheads last night at an outdoor gig at Somerset House in London. Perfect weather for it - has been about 30 degrees in London which makes for great evenings for outdoor concerts ! Played all the usual suspects. Only disappointment was the one song encore, Rudderless. Grrr. Whats with that. Support were Sleepy Jackson which was a cool surpise. Last place I saw them was the Grosvenor in Perth. Am also off to see them tommorow night. Should be great.
Kensal Green Cemetery
Spent this afternoon wandering around Kensal Green Cemetery taking some photos. I know that doesn't sound like everyones idea of a fun Saturday, but I needed some Photoshop fodder and after seeing some cool photos on flickr, I decided to head up there for a look. Kensal Green Cemetery was created in 1832 but the earliest gravestone I saw was late 1840s. A few famous people are buried there, but the only names I recognised were Charles Babbage and Wilkie Collins. Anyway, here are are a couple of my favorite photos so far. See the rest as a slideshow here.

Greece
After a few rather hectic holidays A & I decided it was time for a relaxing one that didnt involve repacking backpacks every second day or crossing endless sights of the tourist checklist, so we headed off to the Greek island of Mykonos to sit on a beach for a week. It was amazing - beautiful clear water and nice warm weather. Very relaxing - just what I needed. Also managed to get some culture on the way home, dropping in on the Acropolis in Athens. To be honest, it was a bit of a disappointment but that was probably partially to do with it being hot weather and the last day of the holiday !! Photo Slideshow
Saving You From Limbo
Rest assured I have not "fallen into the murky depths of the Thames", as one concerned reader inquired, although it has been tempting as this weekend has been pretty damn hot. Have just got back from a week in Greece where the main activity was lying on the beach - made a nice change from the old backpacking routine of unpacking/repacking every couple of days. Anyway will post photos soon and will try and get back to some semi-regular posting
