Worth checking out in the run up to Christmas!
My sister gave birth last Wednesday evening to a little girl called Martha! I’m a uncle for the third time (after Nicholas and Maya, courtesy of my South African brother Murray and his wife).
Congratulations to my sister and brother in law – my sister will make the most amazing mum.
Last night I went out around Old Street and Liverpool Street with my flatmate John, our Finish friend Miika and a beautiful, nice Spanish girl, Carla – she came to the party we had at my flat and I haven’t seen her since. We started in a great pub called ‘Dream bags and Jaguar Shoes’ – the place was originally two shops bought by two promoters and they intended to knock them together, but in the end decided to just knock the wall down and keep the place as it was (as they were?). We had no idea where we were going after that, but managed to do a lot of walking and chatting and had a few more drinks in a couple of other bars.
When we got back to the flat we went upstairs and were serenaded by John and Miika.
Tonight I went to see Children of Men with my flatmates John (who worked on the film as a digital effects artist) and Mark, as well as Chorna, Miika and Ed. It was great to see Chorna again - It’s been too long since I last saw her.
Saying that this film is a little bit depressing is like saying World War II was a bit of a skirmish. It’s a horribly well made, fantastically devastating film that looks towards the near future and sure, there is an underlying theme of optimism throughout the film, but this isn’t exactly Sunday evening fun-for-the-whole-family entertainment that’s easy to watch. It is, however, an incredible film and absolutely worth everyone seeing.
The newly-released iPod Nanos look great in real life.

I’ve worked every day, including both days weekends for the last month, so I think I’m going to take at least one day this weekend to relax.
I had a great night out last night, after having a few drinks with colleagues and supposedly heading home, the new designer at work dragged me out to Covent Garden till 4am.
She took me to Maxwell’s to meet up with a load of her South African friends and then we went on to Roadhouse where the Kaiser Chiefs were playing! Excellent night, great band, great people, perhaps a little too much alcohol.
I saw ‘The Inconvenient Truth‘ with my flatmates last weekend and while I’m not exactly an environmental activist it really is one of the best films/documentaries I’ve seen this year. Al Gore does an incredible job of educating the audience in what’s happening in the environment, while mocking the incorrect ways society perceives the problems we’re having with climate change.
Whether you’re into the whole ‘climate crisis’ debate or not, it’s definitely worth seeing.
