Blair Grills

Had a BBQ the other weekend. I kid you not. London went through what is known as an Indian Summer. Just great weather peaking at around the 30 degree mark. Yowza.
So, after watching the ruggers, we loaded up the BBQ with around 20 different animals and some corn, and got stuck in. What a great way to end what has, up till now, been a pretty dismal Summer.

The cold has hit now though and it came fast. Renee and I have been hurredly trying to sort out this return trip to Australia. On top of the 6 weeks we will be spending in four different countries, we have to also organise our own lives that will start up again in Australia. There is so much more we want to do here before we go and it seems like the end is coming way too fast.The bucket list we created a good three months ago lays on the table in our room, barely touched.

However, despite the end being well and truly in sight, we are filling up our days with alot of activity. Recently we did the Monopoly Pub Crawl through the streets of London. It got messy. I almost died.
The Monoploy pub crawl is a tried and tested tour of English Pubs, stopping at all the main stops on the English monopoly board. All up, there are 26 different pubs dotted through London. You are supposed to drink half pints and spend half an hour at each pub (ruthless efficiency). We got onto full pints and got through 10 pubs. Pathetic.
Great little trek through the city though. Just make sure you take a sober organiser.

The coming weekends will be taken up with just catching up with people prior to our departure. Work is great at the moment, and I am sad to be leaving it. A lot of stuff to tidy up there at the moment as well.

So, that will probably be that until we arrive in Thailand. Will update the blog every so often once there, but wont be including photos as I predict I simply wont have the time.

Actually, when I think about it, I will probably give London one last farewell blog before we go. It would be rude not to.
