Melbourne Visitors Beware

If you come to London for a flying visit and decide to catch up ... I will make you drink excessively and talk about rubbish til the wee hours of the morning with me.

Was great to see Shane on a flying visit last week, we drank Covent Garden out of beer and then stumbled onto some strange bar in Soho for more trouble and philosophizing.



Oxford Cambridge Boat Race

Andy and I had a great day out in Putney with our dear friend Heineken to enjoy the great tradition of 'Boat Race'. We cheered for Cambridge on the vague connection that they had an Aussie rowing for them and we know 1 girl from Cambridge... Oxford ended up beating them for the 6th year in a row or something.

Anyway basically the day involves a couple of 100,000 Londoners trekking down to Putney to watch the start of the race or further up the Thames for various viewing spots and then to a nearby pub. Hard work for a Sunday afternoon.
