The night before the festival we went roller disco-ing down in south London with Ally and Jake and a few other mates. Was lots of fun (although maybe getting dressed up in 80s gear was more fun than the actual skating!)
And below Gemma, Kelly, MC and Kelly modeling the scary 80s gear. Although what was slightly more freaky was the fact that we got all our outfits from Primark (ultra-budget UK High St chain), didn't have to go anywhere near a second-hand shop!
Another recent day out was the one-day cricket match between England and NZ at Lords.
So that's what we've been up to in the last month. It's been good to spend a bit more time in London with friends (especially for John who is pretty happy that Watty has moved in a few doors down and more importantly has Sky for watching all those early morning All Black tests!). We are heading off on our next trip very soon (Friday!) and this time are going sailing in Croatia (round the islands in the Adriatic) for a week. After that we have tickets to Meatloaf (woo hoo!) and a pre-season Arsenal game which John is of course quite excited about.
We are both still in the same jobs (John at MFI and MC at the Royal London). MC's contract was meant to end in October but she has been asked to stay on another 9 months so will probably be there for a bit longer than originally thought. MFI also seem quite keen to keep John on but he is not so sure about whether he wants to stay, and is still figuring out visa issues (and doing some dodgy interpretation of the working holidaymaker visa guidelines...)
