a new post
Well, it's been a long time since I last posted.
Truth be told, life has been busy.
I wasn't sure what to insert into this very public white space, but I felt like I probably should put something here.
So I have decided to do a little guide of some of the places I've been recently, for those of you not familiar with London, all with the aid of some fantastic photographers off of flickr.
My trip to work everyday takes around 30mins; I get off at Canary Wharf tube station.
If I'm working early or on a close, I'll make time to get to my gym in West India Quay - it's a 7 minute walk from where I work and you cross a floating bridge on the docks to get there.
The gym is next door to a Cineworld. I have a good friend that's a real film buff, so I've ended up in Cineworld more times than I'd care to admit.
I've been playing a lot of tennis recently, mainly in New Cross in South London.
It's a great community, mainly afro-carribean - I'd never been there before until recently as I hardly ever go south of the river.
New Cross is also home to the only African-Japanese restaurant I've heard of.
Last week I went to see a new exhibition at the Tate Modern.
Urbanism - a fantastic artistic look into the growth of urbanism and urban culture around the world. I'll probably go back for another look before long.
Most of all, my mind has been full of the "what nexts'?" You know, the usual pre-marital thoughts and ponderances.
I'm quite excited for Audge to come and visit, although nervous at the same time... what if she doesn't like it? Will she enjoy herself here? Will she feel relaxed? Settle in?
The first few days back from Japan were really hard, although I have grown accustomed to the long periods of separation; one day they will end.
Until then, I wait.

Last weekend Joe and I were in London, and every Starbucks I passed I looked into the window brifely wondering... hum, I wonder if this is the one Ralph works at. Maybe it was silly because the city has 8 000 000 people in it, and you are just one person. And you probably don't live or work near the west end. But hey... it was worth a shot.
you do know that i used to live around the corner from new cross, don't you?! brockley's very near...and i'm glad you're FINALLY realising the south isn't a bad place. i'll take you on a tour sometime! ;)
