a statement today confirmed that Wembley stadium would not be opening before June 2007!!!! why why why! a delay of over a year with the contractors losing thousands of pounds per day. makes one think how much money they were getting in the first place!

weird…

not sure if it was a number thing (06/06) or whatever, but the handful of passengers on the underground this morning kept giving each other weird looks and sat as far apart as they could from another living being.

theres a slayer amongst us!

26.2 miles of pain….and rain

The thousands who ran and the millions who cheered them on.. they endured it all…the rain, an early start on a Sunday and packed Tube stations. Worth it, I’d say…even for short people like myself who had to search endlessly for a empty spot by the railings to catch a glimpse of the passersby (runners) and to satisfy my camera’s needs.

The costumes, both athletes and spectators, and the bands tilted the balance in the earthlings’ favour after the drizzle had threatened an uneven contest.

Felt really nice just being there..amongst the fun-lovers. Been ages since we witnessed something like this…

Hats off to all runners. Remarkable job. And thanks to all spectators who made it a carnival event (myself including :D)

Easter Happenings

Just thought of bringing a quick Easter whats-on guide to all those lazy arses that cant be bothered looking for themselves (no.1 being my brother):

* Moroccan Market at South Bank – held at the Royal Festival Hall 14th – 18th April

* The Australian Bee Gees Show – London Palladium on Sunday 16th April

* They’ve even organised a horse show at Wembley Arena on 15-16 April

* And theres the Liquid Landscape text projection with its last day being tomorrow.

The weather should be half decent on Sunday (or so does the BBC mets predict). So get your strolling boots on (or a hammock if you’re lucky).

As for me, I’ll be working all weekend…….

Oh, what a beautiful morning….NOT

a little over 25 hours from Dan’s entry, the clouds are back. And so will the rain. BBC’s predicting 17C today albeit served with showers on the side. But yeah, when will the summer arrive????? :(

If its not raining in the evening, I’d suggest go and view the Liquid Landscape projections that Flora mentioned. I went to it last night. Came back with a few photos. A must-see!

Oh, and hello London Metroblog.
