September 2003 Archives
aka Alex Wright's party. Had a lovely time, borrow the recently recovered TJBR-mobile to Suffolk, picnicked at Waldringfield and arrived at the old farm late afternoon. Camped overnight in the garden before returning to London via Phil's folks and chinese pub grub.

I've probably raved about fotopic before.....Yoz and James have been nagging me to change my fotopic settings... and this evening, after Buffalo Soldiers at the Warner West End, the first of the BBC's modernised Canterbury Tales and delicious mushroom pie (courtesy of Phil) I finally got the chance to log into Fotopic admin.... and, yes, I've changed my settings so that you can buy prints, and changed the "what happens when you click on the image" so that it takes you to a full size photo.
Anyway, as ever, I went to check out the week's top photos and collections.... no surprises to find Burning Man 2002 up there on both counts, what with BM 2003 having taken place last weekend (complete with Radio 4 "From our own correspondant" coverage last Sunday) and Yoz's having been prompted to nag about one of last year's photos. But what did cause a hearty laugh was discovering that this *delightful* photo of Barney has had 121 hits :)
It's in the genes you know.
And more browsing of my referrers shows that fotopic is pretty good at getting high hits in MSN Search, what with my photo of the Topkapi Palace coming in at number 6 for the ""Topkapi Palace" search, and Barney's birthday drawing coming in at number 2 for "drawing palm trees"!
Sacré bleu, typing on a french keyboard really brings it home to me how much of a touch typist I've become! It doesn't help that about half they keys are in the same place... except for vowels and all the punctuation!!! and the numbers are all shift+key.... aieeeee!!!!
Anyway, the presentation/meeting/whatever went well, although I'll be interested to get Bill's take on it all - he's the main risk management partner. The RMC are all still meeting, but I slipped out after my spot and had a lovely pizza lunch with Lucy and 3 others from the office. Am tired now though - had to get up at 5:45... yawn. The sooner London City Airport gets linked to the DLR, the better. The bus link from Docklands is hopeless.
