Bug-Man’s Blog

It’s fun being a tourist but I’ve never like to think of myself as one. I am enjoying moving around the city and taking in the sights, however slowly. With Lindsay working every day it leaves us only the weekends to do anything, because as soon as it hits 4 o’clock in London, it starts getting dark. Really dark.

Lindsay and I have now got to know our own area very well, which I think is a good thing because this is our home for the next 12 months at least. This weekend we went up on the London Eye at night time and travelled out to the Tower Bridge area, albeit rather late in the day and we didn’t have much time to do anything else. I would have liked to have gone up but we are being a bit careful with our finances until things get back in shape after that hefty rent payment! These are some things we’ll come back and re-visit just as soon as I feel more safe

Here are a couple of shots from our ‘flight’ on the Eye and the Tower Bridge! You can check out more over at my Flickr feed. I have been keeping it up-to-date as regularly as possible!

Don’t forget you can view more at Flickr.

I’ve been Geotagging as many photos using Flickr as I can so that you can see exactly where they were taken from on the surface of the Earth, using Flickr’s maps or Google Earth (but Google Earth only receives the last 20. Grr.) I think my next project will have to be automated geotagging.

PS. I thought this was a great little picture with the caption included

“Welcome home from your holiday!”

PPS.
I won’t mention much about how the job hunting is going at this stage in case I’m being ego-surfed by a prospective employer… (Hi Employer!!) and perhaps I’ll blog about it all later once it’s all over and I’m gainfully employed. Suffice it to say there is plenty of work out there and I’m still applying and at the same time waiting for the whole Christmas/New Years period to pass over so that all the HR departments can return to normal.
