Went clubbing Saturday night, met up with Mark at Bad Bobs in Covent Garden then we all headed to Atomic in Charing Cross Road. Big night of dancing and all that. So at about 4am when the club closed we were forced to leave. I bused it back to the the camel with the intention of going to bed. Get there and all the crew are still up having drinks in the bar. Triple Bundy's went down a treat. There's now video footage of me dancing on the bar in my boxer shorts. Got to bed around 7am?. The sun was up. Slept till 4:30pm Sunday only to start work at 5..

At the Easy Internet place in Trafalgar Sq at present. Me and Heath, another Melbourne boy i work with, are gunna go see James Bond. Days off are a good chance to get away from the pub for a while.

We were meant to go to some TV show last Sunday, Aimee got tickets through work. Myself, Mike, Aimee, Shada, Betina and Chris headed to Waterloo station to get the connecting traing. We missed it and as the next one wasn't for another hour (It's 45 mins outsiude of London) we knew we'd miss the show. What else do we do on a Sunday night in London? A pub crawl around the West End of course, each chosing one pub as we went along. Had to be one no one had ever been to before. Although that rule was broken with the Porterhouse (My favourite pub in London) and the Intrepid Fox (Very gothic complete with graveyard style scenery). You guessed it, we all got very happy.

Been working lots, it's still fun although a few double shifts tire you out. Not that it bothers me. My time off have been spent catching up on sleep. Oh also caught some little James Bond expo with Zinny the other day. Not quite worth the £9 but good nonetheless. The £4.95 all you can eat at the Deep Pan Pizza Co in Picadilly with Row and Hoffy was good also.

Work the next few days then Days off on Tuesday and Wednesday. There's a big Christmas party for First Contact here next Saturday night. We are closed to the public, All staff will be working but we're all going to get dressed up and soak up the atmosphere. Now I think I'll head into Covenmt Garden to catch up woth Mark for his farewell.....

It's good to have a day off, especially after the last two days of double shift work. Friday there was a very large lunch crowd coming in that got even busier as the day progressed due to it being Friday. Mainly a suit/work crowd. There was a farewell function on upstairs to that night. Whoever put it on had a tab running behind the bar, free drinks meant everyone got messy and clocked up well over a grand. Not to nitpick, but the type of crowd that was present (business suit and tie types) meant there were a few dickheads about. When it's busy this can get annoying at times. Was exhausted come midnight.

Saturday was even bigger. Another double shift with a 10:30am start. Three games of Rugby on with all Three Antipodean teams playing in seperate games. With a large Kiwi crowd always present at our pub, come midday you couldn't move inside. It was busiest early on. Despite working my arse off it was actually pretty fun and I enjoyed the day immensly. A good friendly crowd that got right into the game and the atmosphere. We were supposed to replay the Aussie game afterwards but our video machine messed up. The South African game later on that came only after the leage game involving the Kiwi's and the Pom's. The Staff and locals stayed on after closing up at 11:30pm and I didn't get to sleep till almost five I think. Knocked back a few bundy's then drunk upstairs with Anton and Rowan. All the Kiwi lads did the Hucka for us all which was amuzing...

Today I relaxed. Did washing, shopped and slept. Went for a walk before along the Thames near the pub. An Aussie guy was busking by the river with his electric guitar. Heavy on the reverb and delay it created a perfect mood that echoed through the air. He sung some great tunes. I walked along the river, listening, taking in the veiws and being content. Then I walked through the park and back home to the Camel. Yep, life is good! Ok better get off of here, using the boss's computer down in the cellar.....

It's Monday afternoon in London, there's a bit of a chill about but the sun is out. I worked a double shift yesterday after a decent night out with Mark on Saturday night firstly at Henry's in Green Park then some little club/bar in Covent Garden. Toaday is one of those days where London looks as beautiful as ever and I'm really happy to be here. Walked from the pub down in Tower Bridge into Piccadilly Circus to pick up a copy of the new U2 Best Of CD then walked around a bit listening to it on my discman Full of tunes I love as well as some brilliant new ones. Today I'm happy, content and looking forward to the rest of my stay here which could be longer than originally anticipated now.

The job's going great. It's pretty easy once you get into the swing of things. The people I work with are all easy to get along with as well, which makes it all that much better. Had a few nights after work on the drink as well, just kicking back with the others. Pulled out the guitar the other night and drunk beer, sang songs and had a good time. Halloween party tonight and I get the night off. Might take it easy though. It's all good!
