Let it snow!
Nothing like waking up in London to a few inches of snow. Thankfully I have no shame in being foreign and am happy to take photos on my way to work!

Ew winter has arrived
Today in NZ
Today in London
Thankfully, there are only something like 58 sleeps until warm India...
On a bright note, the coffee shop around the corner passed a second visit over the weekend. If it does three in a row it may go on to enter the London-Coffee-Hall-of-Fame.

A mixed up blog…
Back at work after Christmas this blog is going to be a little mixed up.
I’ve noticed again just how many kiwis there are in London. I was at a pub for a colleague’s leaving drinks and noticed someone with very familiar mannerisms - turns out it was an old friend from high school I’d not seen in about ten years. So, of my class of about 80, and aside from the friends I know are here, there was the guy I bumped into at the All Black game, and the girl I saw randomly in the west end one night - who knows how many other there are out there - maybe 20+… Then don’t even let me start on my profs class, one guy works two streets away, and another lives a couple of blocks away. Is there anyone left in NZ?
On the eternal quest for decent coffee, while Paul was at rugby yesterday (getting a try no less) I went to a café I spied close to the new Arsenal stadium with Fran and Graham. Quite surprisingly the coffee was quite good - perhaps even a 7/10 (Average London coffee is given high praise if it makes a 4/10 - because, by London standards, it is about as good as you are going to get). I can see some newspaper brunches coming up.
Finally, as Paul was really good last year Santa gave him the present of a day trip to Diggerland for Christmas. Today was a lovely (cold) sunny day to dig holes and drive JBCs about the place. The boys were as happy as, err, pigs in mud…
Paul testing one of the little diggers
And now in a big digger

Haven't driven a car in years... but these things corner like the old Sunny
