Photo Friday: Mountain Retreat

April 20, 2012

This weekend, our whole team is headed out of the city for a retreat. It will probably be wet. No, this is not where we’re going on retreat—this is a hermitage at Montserrat, in Spain. We’re going somewhere in Kent, which is just about as cool.

April 19, 2012

As most of you know, the Olympics are coming to town this summer! It has the potential to be a good thing for London, and in the future may provide many jobs and homes for people here in the East End. But for now, and during the event, it’s mostly a headache for folks. In [...]

A little bit of graffiti that Liz and I came across while walking to church last weekend. Stepney is the neighbourhood directly north of Shadwell, where we live. Escape is a common desire in both areas. Liz then corrected the graffiti to say “LOVE STEPNEY” instead. She is such a vandal.

Tuesday Tidbit (Friday edition): IKEA

March 23, 2012

I’ll be honest—there has always been something about IKEA that scared me a little bit. This monster of flatpack furniture, a Disneyland of home furnishings… it’s big. And overwhelming. And simultaneously is full of wonderful decorating ideas while reminding us again and again that we’ll never afford such nice homes as their showrooms try to [...]

Photo Friday: Taekwondo

March 16, 2012

A couple weeks ago, my Taekwondo school had its annual club championships to discover who are this year’s best fighters among us. Although I didn’t compete, I did show up to take photos for them. It was a long day, but a great chance to hang out with some of my classmates in a different [...]

Photo Friday: Rainy Canary Wharf

March 2, 2012

Hey friends, we still won’t have internet at home until next week, so we’ll continue to be a bit disconnected for the next few days. The weather has been great here this past week (until today… go figure) — sunny and 50′s or 60′s. A great week for not having the internet, and for being [...]
