Two more days! I've had a lovely weekend back in Ashford visiting friends and family - yesterday I had an early birthday party with the 'gang', although it felt weird celebrating it in October, I'm not a Libra!! (...although I do have Venus in Libra in my chart) We took lots of silly photos (...to be posted on Facebook soon), did our tradition quizzes (I won!) and ate too much food. Good times. And today I met up with the lovely Anna, Etty and Angelina at Westfield for brunch, which turned into a 7-hour chat topped off with dinner as we were in the restaurant so long. Tomorrow and visiting the grandparents, then Tuesday I'm off!!
And now for my final flashback – Summer 2010! I had a super-long summer that year, because I left my job at the start of May, had 2 months in LA then had the rest of the summer off when I got back as I didn’t start my next job until September... if only every summer could be like that! My trip was pretty last-minute, as I always go away when I’m in-between contracts yet my kind of work is quite unpredictable and hard to plan. On this occasion, I was working on the ill-fated FiReControl Government IT project (Google it... major fail, Government!) which was cut the week after the Elections, so once I found out I was straight on the phone to Virgin Atlantic booking my flights for the following week. ;)
Most of my 2-month stay was spent out and about in LA doing my usual shopping and general walking-around in Hollywood and Silver Lake, but I also spent a week on the East Coast on what must have been both the most tiring and exciting week ever, gallivanting around NYC, mega-casinos in the middle of the Connecticut forest and tacky Atlantic City to attend certain concerts and parties... but what happens on tour stays on tour I’m afraid..!
Biscuit! The cute neighbourhood cat that likes to come into the apartment and hide behind the TV/oven
Dodgers game... I still don’t understand the rules of baseball, but I like singing along to Don’t Stop Believin’ at the end of the game
The 101
Cool street art in Silver Lake
Cool view of the city from Griffiths Park... cool place to have a rave in the middle of the night ;)
Walking through Griffiths Park
Me and my mate Einstein in Griffiths Observatory
NYC was HOT!
OK, so I was walking through Times Sq wondering to myself how England were getting on in the World Cup, then I look up and see this massive screen... funniest thing I saw on my whole trip hahahaha
MGM Grand Foxwoods, biggest casino in the world when it was built. Fun times were had here...

Night out in Atlantic City, New Jersey’s tacky answer to Vegas
