When the opportunity arose to take Brendan’s monster lens home over night I didn’t have to be asked twice. The lens in question is the gargantuan Sigma 120-300 f/2.8L which I believe is the fastest zoom lens that extended to 300mm (for the fellow photography nerds out there!). This is how is looked when attached […]

Alanis Morissette would have considered it ironic. It’s not consistent with my understanding of irony, but I guess they do things a little differently in Canada, eh? For me the rain was just something that needed to be worked around, and fortunately right after the ceremony when it needed to be dry, it was. The […]

The keen observers among you will have noticed the change in the lay out of this blog. Kudos to you. For those who are less observant, or are first time visitors (welcome, by the way, take a look around, make yourself at home…) I can report that with the help of Nate Dogg (who’s not […]

Has the world turned upside down? If Nadal being bundled out of the French in the 4th round to a Swede, a Swede(!), wasn’t weird enough London has just reeled off her second successive sunny weekend. Insanity. I decided to head out to Hampstead Heath for a picnic with Bec and Danny, but our plans […]

It’s been a good day. I’ve just secured another wedding booking, 4 weddings in 5 weeks in June / July will keep me busy, I’ve passed my life in the UK test – the first step to British citizenship, I’m enjoying a tasty Jacob’s Creek Shiraz and the Flight of the Conchords is on in […]

After devouring an entire box of savoury shapes for dinner, a rare treat in London, I was left wonder how best to spend the rest of my Friday night. I was beginning to tire of *cough* 27 Dresses, I mean, as far as predictable rom coms go this was arguably the most predictable (but such […]
