London calling, yes, I was there, too, An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!

London calling at the top of the dial. After all this, won't you give me a smile? London calling ...

again I bid farewell, it's official (and it's taken nearly 8 years) .. but London is now in my bones ...  mainly because for the last few months I have had time to enjoy it .. and the last few weeks of being London were truly phenomenal, I am now just as sad about leaving as I am excited about seeing Australia again.

so goodbye yellow brick road...

...where the dogs of society howl ! you can´t plant me in your penthouse, I´m going back to my plough.

Posting this as I sip iced tea in Buenos Aires !  Hola ...

Before I update on the ´road trip´ though, I must sign out of London .... (keeping this brief about to head to Tigre)!  The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of farewells, emotion and mmmm you guessed it champagne and cocktails and funnily enough champagne cocktails !

aside from all the bits you have to do when leaving your current life, not to mention the time still being consumed by the police stuff, the last couple of weeks have been full of debauchery ... of which I have no regrets.... read on !

CBT's London Life - Update # 10 - Where the gloss comes off a little

oh my ... what a week or so in London ... sadly yesterday morning, I was attacked as I lay in bed (7.30 broad daylight)... now before the panic ..  I am okay ...bit bruised and not the most pleasant experience to say the least .. but it has certainly shaken me and lets just say that 'my london high gloss shine' is now sadly mat ..

I also had camera, blackberry, phone etc pinched so apologies if you have been in contact and I have not responded... I will as soon as 'service is restored', that is the last I really want to talk about the matter ta ... as I am sure can be appreciated I am a bit tired of answering questions about it at the moment ... it had been a great week till that point though ...  and there were some funny moments throughout ... like me standing in the hall with about 6 policeman and this very well to do lady barging through the door wanting to look at the handrail on my stairs, because her builder said that she might like it, and asking my opinion on the rail and colour of paints I think would go with it, completely not noticing anything ...  we all just looked at eachother dumbfounded .... and burst out laughing ... now for slightly more cheery stuff ...

CBT's London Life - Random update #9

Never have I had to do sooo much personal admin ...  for those of you that may be unaware ... personal admin and I are not friends ...  it is quite possible I am actually allergic to it ....

been a funny couple of weeks, (planning the 'trip' does not allow for much time for me to live the good old high life of the last few weeks) ... aside from vaccinations, visas, hotels etc ... I have only managed to get in a couple of things of note....discovered the cutest theatre Rosemary Branch Theatre a little pub theatre between Angel and Shoreditch ... yes yes it's true I ventured further afield ...
