Back in the Big Smoke Back home to spend my first New Years in London. The photo below was taken just at the end of my road on a really cold afternoon as I was returning from Manchester. The light was perfect. My camera was at the bottom of my suitcase, but I think it was worth the trouble.  

Sunset Red sky at night....  

The Garden Absolutley nothing on tv, so here are a few random photos of my garden.

Simba Now almost 8 my dog has grown increasingly lazy over the past year and now turns his nose up at walkies that don't involve some kind of car journey. No longer intent on a simple stroll to the shops, walkies now have to involve some kind of national trust heritage site. So yesterday the two of us ventured out to Dunham Park; Simba with hopes of sniffing other dogs bottoms and me on gettings some nice photos of the countryside. After negotiating Simbas 'harness' (regualr collars give him a rash) I discovered that I had left the battery for my camera at home. Brillitant.  

Christmas Dinner Phew. Am now officially fat. Will obviously hammer the gym when back in London and regain six-pack ;-)  

Christmas Morning It would be great to say that Christmas is all about family and stuff, but we all know it's mostly about the presents. This year did not disappoint! However, may have to find a new home for a jigsaw as I certainly do not have the patience to piece together 1000 cardboard squares just to reassemble an image you can already appreciate on the front of the box! Bring on the food... Below: 10am and the Champagne is already flowing

Christmas Eve This will be the 4th year that me and my crazy friend Chi will have spent Christmas Eve together. Every year, we go into town expecting bars to be open and always shocked to discover everywhere closed. Last night, like every other year, we ended up in our local pub. We made a pact that next year we are going to set up our own soup kitchen in Manchester. Weather permitting. Below: Me and Chi in the Greyhound Pub in Flixton.

Tom It's funny how you can can look so hard to find that someone, and then when you least expect it, Tom comes along.

Below is the christmas card I sent out to everyone this year. The gayest card ever? Perhaps. Great fun making it tho. I love living with those guys :-)
