It's a fair old way from the Isle of Dogs to Cleethorpes, about 180 miles, but we made good time on the journey up there on the Friday evening, On the ... http://www.lazyllama.com/blog/archives/2008/06/06/cleethorpes-and-grimsby After a bit of faffing about, I've redone the theme for the blog with new llama header and umm.. probably some other stuff. Let me know if anything on here doesn't work any more. http://www.lazyllama.com/blog/archives/2008/06/02/temporary-theme A couple of weekends ago we went to Southwold in Suffolk, a small town where my Mum lived before the war. Vic and I both went there on holiday when we were kids so it was a return to old haunts in some ways. We drove down to the Harbour Campsite ... http://www.lazyllama.com/blog/archives/2008/06/02/southwold Last year, Vic's family clubbed together to buy her dad, Alan, a single-seater racing car experience for his birthday. A couple of days before his birthday this year he arranged to go to Rockingham Racetrack and take up the challenge. Vic and I went along to watch, as did Vic's mum, Joan, ... http://www.lazyllama.com/blog/archives/2008/05/12/track-day-at-rockingham We've been back for more than a week now. Singapore was fun in a "how many shopping malls" kind of way. Bought a few bits and pieces; new camera lens, bag, trainers etc. Vic had an allergic reaction to the anti-malarial antibiotics we were taking, so we had to visit the Raffles ... http://www.lazyllama.com/blog/archives/2008/04/15/home-again-home-again-jiggetty-jig We've been away for two weeks now and I've not been able to update the blog yet. I've got a bunch of photos to upload to my Bali and Lombok Flickr set which should appear about the same time as this blog entry. I'm writing this offline as we've been unable ... http://www.lazyllama.com/blog/archives/2008/03/27/bali-lombok Bit late posting this as I've been back over a week now. We flew to Nice on Friday 22nd from London City airport. It's only a 10 minute taxi ride away and is a much more civilised way to travel when compared with schlepping over to Heathrow or Gatwick. The plane ... http://www.lazyllama.com/blog/archives/2008/03/09/nice-cannes-and-vmworld-europe-2008 I've splashed out and bought a new camera. While we were away travelling we considered buying a digital SLR camera as the point-and-shoot Canon Ixus 430 was a bit restrictive, but the cost and bulk meant that we decided against it. Lugging a dSLR around along with the other stuff we ... http://www.lazyllama.com/blog/archives/2008/02/20/new-camera-new-pictures A couple of weeks ago we were lucky enough to get a pair of freebie tickets for Afrika! Afrika! at The O2, just across the Thames from where we live. After the usual trek right round the main dome, we got to the entrance to the Afrika! Afrika! site which is ... http://www.lazyllama.com/blog/archives/2008/02/11/afrika-afrika Grimsby Town were playing at Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday, and as we'd missed the other London-based games against Barnet and Brentford, we made a conscious effort to go to this one. The Jubilee Line was out of action which didn't help make the journey any simpler, but we got the ... http://www.lazyllama.com/blog/archives/2008/01/21/dire-doings-in-dagenham
