Denzil on sharing

One day there was this guy who bought a laptop while he was in Hong Kong with his girlfriend. His girlfriend was rather fond of their laptop and their internet connection.

TV

We finally got ourselves a TV from Lily's flatmates who will be returning to Australia soon in August. Thanks James and Jo!

Superheros

Sometimes even super heros don't like the rain. The photo was taken on bus 137 (my favourite bus route) on the way home one rainy afternoon. The 137 happens to connect our place with Cindy's.

Support the home team.

While in England I've (ie Denzil) taken to the idea of supporting the home team

Broadband

One day this couple had broadband internet at home. The girlfriend had to get up extra early to get to the laptop before the boyfriend took it back off her.

Brighton

Brighton is not just a place in the south of Sydney. It is also a beach side town in the south of England. Saturaday had such beautiful weather that we decided to go there for the day.

The beach itself is not much like the ones at home. For a start their is little/no sand, its actually a pebble beach. Its not so bad to sit or lie upon, infact its was rather nice doing so.

People from Sydney who remember Pier One just to the left of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (south side) will be delighted to know that the piers at Brighton are full of amusements, and rides.

For the shop-a-holics out there, the place is full of little lanes and alley ways where you can find the most interesting nic-nacks or the latest fashions. Needless to say Lulu couldn't get enough of it!

After much bagging of the English weather, especially how the sun has no strength like back home in Oz, we got home burnt. Our faces have raccoon eyes now :(

Prague (18/7/2004 - 20/7/2004)

We went to Prague!!! Best part of Prague was the weather. Having been in London for so long we haven't seen much blue sky, but in Prague all we got was blue sky and HOT HOT STICKY weather. Never knew how much we missed it!

Prague Castle would have to be my favourite. Baroque buildings surround lovely squares and fountains. The grounds are even large enough to house a cathedral.

The only other place I really wanted to see was the old Jewish Cemetry. Unfortunately photos were not really allowed (it didn't stop some people though).

Lulu's favourite quote from Denzil is "Oh no I've only 300 photos left on my digital camera, is that enough?!?!?"

Freezing in 31 degrees

Its 31 degrees today. Somehow I spent it shivering... let me explain... I'm not sick thankfully. I did spend most of it in the computer server room under the air-con set to 18 degrees. Brrr! Somehow 31 degrees in London is not the same as 31 degrees in Sydney. Sydney sun is much harsher. That goes along way to explain why English girls are often fair skinned.

London Tube

Ok, now I have really experienced the real London. The weather was hot at 28 degrees and blue skies. That means nothing on its own but the tube (London speak for trains) was experiencing massive delays going home. In London many trains don't seem to have air-con. In trains where your packed in like sardines (Sydney trains are nothing) with no airflow, all I can say is that I'm thankful that I'm not vertically challenged and my view is not some guy's sweaty armpits

Kew Gardens

It's Sunday, sunny and the sky's blue. Couldn't resist and had to go out to Kew Gardens. It's a massive botanical park that is part Government funded, part self funding (8.50 pounds entry). Lots of botanical research happens there too.
