Time for some more pain.

Now that we've finally got our flat as we like it, with renovation complete we naturally decided to look for a new place. We had been concentrating our search on a small area in Northwest London, called Brondesbury (very close to Queens Park). After several months of looking including at least 1 crack den, we finally found somewhere! A tedious offer process followed, and after a week of uncertainly we were given the good news.

Fortunately we can move straight into the new place, with some long term renovation plans to be tackled down the track. All that's needed in the first instance is a change of colour from the sick enducing salmon walls to something a little more subdued and warm.

Here's one pic to get you started, more to follow soon. Please keep fingers crossed for us, as we now have about 1-2 months of legal rubbish to endure.

12 months of Comedy

Went to see a comedy show on the weekend called the Jeremy Lion show. Absolutely gold it was. The actor is a friend of family and won a Perrier for this show in Edinburgh. P*ssing funny. You MUST go and see this... only on for this week though.

Oh dear god.

Bonfire night in Lewes was certainly an eye opener. The evening kicked off with race involving ladies running down the street dragging barrels of fire. Then the men took their turn, creating an equally ridicluous spectacle. Then the parade began, and the street was filled with burning crosses. Now I'm a lapsed catholic, so fortunately this did not offend my sensibilities .... however it was quite a sight indeed. Lewes is a heavily protestant area, and this bonfire night tradition celebrates the memory of 17 Protestant martyrs who were burnt at the stake in the town during the Marian Persecutions of 1555–1557. In short there was lots of violence and lots of people being killed (mainly by the Catholics), and now every year, the town takes to burning excessive numbers of crosses whilst parading through the streets. Some kind of 16th century group therapy I expect. Truly a bizarre and incredible sight. Quite fun, even.
