Norwegian Wood...

So...Summer is over, and after a long break here I am in blog world again. Many things happened this summer....so I'll try to list the most important stuff, chronologically....I went to Edinburgh in mid-August, just for a weekend for the Fringe. It was really good. Got to see a very good performance by a Russian physical theatre group, and a fantastic photographic exhibition of Henri Cartier Bresson. Brilliant stuff. I also got to spend some time with my best friend David, who lives there. I hadn't seen him in ages, so it was good to catch up, even though we keep in contact quite a lot.

So...next on the agenda was Florence....I can't even begin to describe how beautiful this city is.....Imagine the best landscape you've ever seen....combine it with the right dose of culture, friendly atmosphere, happy people, lovely weather, good social life and general well-being....now multiply that by twenty, and you've got Florence. It was truly the experience of a lifetime...I know I'll be going there again sometime soon....

Meanwhile...here's a picture of Ponte Vecchio....


Next I spent a weekend in Liverpool....YES!!! Liverpool!!! I went there with James, and we visited the Cavern, Beatles Experience, Mathew Street, PENNY LANE!!! (I even saw the Barber's shop and the roundabout.....!) It was so cool! Felt really good to actually be there!! We took pictures with Eleanor Rigby, the Fab Four, and also a bunch of little boys on Penny Lane. We even had hot chocolate and cake in a place called Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds...

I then went to London for a meeting with the people who are collaborating on the project at work....not bad but I didn't really feel like it. It was a good two-day science thing and all.,...got to speak to some "important contacts"....so it was good. I have to go to Glasgow at some point to collect some experimental data but that won't be till late November.....

Anyway.,...enough about work....I'm off to actually do some proper work before going to a party on the 5th floor....:)

Take care everyone!!!

Oh...P.S....This is the reason why I chose that title....I just read a fantastic book by Haruki Murakami called Norwegian Wood...it's fantastic. Murakami is becoming one of my favourite contemporary authors....when I finished the book I felt as though part of me had died with the book!!! It's so so good....OK I'll stop....Bye bye!!!
