As I Was Saying...
June 20, 2007
 I know it's Glastonbury and Wimbledon this weekend but I'm getting really sick of this rain stuff.
Nearly there with the retrospective St.Lucia blog. I've been slightly sidetracked by popping over to Paris for the weekend and feeling like crap - Which meant I probably ruined Sam's weekend by being really grouchy [sorry].
On the upside, the news hounds on the South Coast [Kerry & Rob] are first with the latest on Underworld again and we now have tickets for the Roundhouse gig on October 17th.
A quick moan, that my Audiopod+ thingy hasn't been able to connect to the relevant server for bloody weeks... It reads what has been played on the Nano but just won't upload it to Last.fm. Grrr.
Not sure if I've got any better with the new camera [EOS 400D... Did I mention it?] after rattling off a load of shots over the weekend. I still seem to have over-exposure problems shooting against overcast skies. Guess that's me then... and not the camera!
Lots of stuff coming up. Underworld at Knebworth on the 30th. Got to get to Panic Attack at the Barbican [ends 9th September]. Would like to get tickets for the Becks Fusion Chemical Brothers/United Visual Artists fuse affair in Trafalgar Square, also on September 9th.
Then there's some stuff during London Architecture Week [15th -24th June] that I doubt I'll make it to but sounds worth a visit... Jason Bruges Wind to Light installation on the South Bank might be do-able but I dont think I'll find the time to get to The Sonic Shed Project, under the Westway, or the Hides In The Park, in Battersea Park.
Which just leaves the National Gallery's Grand Tour, interactive, art/geo/audio affair, which is also on until September-ish... And is a bloody good idea if you ask me!
I might get round to some retrospective Parisan posts... Oh yeah! I've got a lot of hyperlinks to add to these last few posts too.

 That's exactly the percentage of photos I took in St. Lucia that I have uploaded to Flickr. 103 out of 412. Now all I have to do is add descriptions and sort out the Geo-Tagging... Oh and type up my notes here. So that's my free weekend spoken for then!
Check out the St. Lucia Flickr set here
Must remember to add a link to new Herne Hill pub, the Florence, when I get a moment too. We popped in on Tuesday night. They sell Kasteel Cru and do fantastic chips.
I've been suffering from the after effects of a Green & Blue wine tasting today - Something I thought would be quite a sedate affair!

Still Playing Catch Up
June 05, 2007
 Well, I've sorted through 200 photos and chosen 66 so far... Just another 212 to go, when I find the time. We seem to have been out most nights since we got back... trying to forget we are here. Will make them all available on Flickr once I've sorted the lot.
Rufus Wainwright was a welcome distraction on Friday night. Two hours of fine showmanship, a great voice and an incredible band. The new album is growing on me and even if I still think the art work is crap, it's pretty good compared to the Olympic 2012 logo!
Got a quick play with my new Canon 400D [first photo above] over the weekend in between cooking for friends and drinking till dawn. Glad to see the last of the S40, especially after sifting through a lot of disappointing holiday shots. Yeah! I'm going to blame my tools! Too right I am.
No time to catch up on the posts I've missed while I was away until I've got these pictures sorted so no links until then...
Oh! Got The Gossip tickets for September on Friday night too!
