I love London and I love Europe. There's something about this part of the world that seems so appealing. Yet, when your away from home like this, its funny how much more you embrace your own country as well. Its culture, style, music, sport, food and anything else Australian. The things that would sometimes make me cringe back home I'm accepting with open arms more so now. After a big night out at Temple Walkabout with a large crew of us last Saturday night, It was Australia day on Sunday. Worked all day and were expecting it to be jammed full of people. It was busy alright but not what we expected. Proabbly a good thing though. It was a great crowd of people who started around midday and stayed on until 10:30 close. We had 241 VB's and Bundy Rum, all Aussie music playing all day. The playlist consisting mainly of songs from all the JJJ Hottest 100 cd's, chosen by yours truly. Aussie flags up everywhere, twisties and burger rings behind the bar. It was fun working behind the bar alright.

Saw Grinspoon at Temple walkabout last night. Billy came through again with free entry for the, what was supposed to be, private gig. Fast paced show full of energy. Mike convinced me to go out afterwards, Roadhouse and then Shaftesbury Walkabout.....

Today is my day off, it's cool in London but easily bearable. Walked around town, just checked out the National Gallery for a bit.
