https://activeprocrastination.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/christmas-in-london
December 28, 2013 at 9:00 pm Posted in London. Did a few things in London over Christmas in 2012 and 2013. 8211; is a museum that showcases the home through the centuries. Over Christmas the rooms are decorated as they would have been in the different eras. So if you’d like to see how past generations celebrated the season this might be a good thing to check out. Wandering around on Christmas Day. Lastly, there are also a quite a few markets around town. 1 Comment ». Feed for comments on this post. Londo...

Assorted: AFL, Rugby, Jewel Tower and Oktoberfest | Active Procrastination
https://activeprocrastination.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/assorted-afl-rugby-jewel-tower-and-oktoberfest
Assorted: AFL, Rugby, Jewel Tower and Oktoberfest. December 28, 2013 at 3:52 pm Posted in London. Assorted bits and pieces:. 8211; By random chance I was walking near Oval and saw a bunch of Australians sporting AFL team colours. A quick google later and and it turned out there was an exhibition game. There were 10,000 people but it definitely feel like it. Pretty sparse. Still wouldn’t mind seeing another match sometime, maybe back in Australia one day. 8211; An English Heritage. 1 Comment ». Enter your...

Assorted: Marathon, St Paul’s music, Thatcher funeral and St Patrick’s day parade. December 28, 2013 at 4:32 pm Posted in London. 8211; On the day of the London marathon I walked down to Westminster and took some photos.

I don’t think I could ever run that long and am impressed by those who did. Photos. Music at St Paul’s. St Patrick’s day parade. 1 Comment ».

Updates | Active Procrastination
https://activeprocrastination.wordpress.com/2014/09/11/updates
September 11, 2014 at 11:30 am Posted in Uncategorized. I’ve been toying with tumblr over the past few months as an easier/quicker/shorter way to do updates (and being about as prolific there as I’ve been here). Given the high frequency of updates by users it might not be the best platform for me but will keep plugging away to find an easy way to update. For now some quick updates:. 8211; Hastings Museum and Art Gallery. 8211; Old Town Hall and Museum. 8211; Fisherman’s Museum. 8211; Shipwreck Museum.

NYE 2013-2014 | Active Procrastination
https://activeprocrastination.wordpress.com/2014/01/12/nye-2013-2014
January 12, 2014 at 5:51 pm Posted in Out and About. Went to Albert Embankment near Lambeth Bridge to watch London’s fireworks. As they explode from the Eye on the same side you get a partial view but that’s fine. Overall they were decent but not breath taking. It does make me wonder why London doesn’t make greater use of the buildings, river barges and bridges to make it a real spectacle alongside other major cities. Glad I went to them but not something I have to rush back to. 1 Comment ». Oh my that&#...

V&A: Hollywood Costume | Active Procrastination
https://activeprocrastination.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/va-hollywood-costume
December 28, 2013 at 1:58 pm Posted in London. Last year we went to the V&A’s Hollywood Costume exhibit. Again this was a super popular exhibit which meant trying to see items and importantly read the information was particularly challenging. The collection covered an array of movies so while Dorothy’s red shoes might not be your thing then Indiana Jones may be more to your liking. When I was there (and possibly more cities as well). 1 Comment ». Feed for comments on this post. Pingback by All caught up!

Eddie Harvey tribute concert | Active Procrastination
https://activeprocrastination.wordpress.com/2014/01/11/eddie-harvey-tribute-concert
Eddie Harvey tribute concert. January 11, 2014 at 2:44 pm Posted in London. I’m not particularly musical but was invited to the Eddie Harvey. For an evening of jazz. Without knowing anything about jazz I’ll have to fall back on the classic “I know it when I see (or hear) it”. The concert was several hours long but didn’t feel like it. The acts paying tribute to Eddie were sharing their stories and were engaging. 2 Comments ». Feed for comments on this post. 8212; January 11, 2014 #. Nothing at the moment.

Jubilee regatta | Active Procrastination
https://activeprocrastination.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/jubilee-regatta
December 28, 2013 at 2:10 pm Posted in London. In 2012 it was the Queen’s diamond jubilee and to celebrate there was a regatta. Along the Thames river. Got there an hour or so before it was meant to start with my friend. Even then we were two people deep from our chosen spot on the river. Luckily I’m tall enough to see over fairly easily. Failing that the randoms near us with their cameras out (or in one case a streaming video from BBC) helped to get a closer view of the activities. 1 Comment ». London R...
