HUBBERS DOT COM BLOG

I just got back from a stag weekend at Kolschfest, a beer festival in Cologne, Germany. This was the stag who shall remain nameless so the ‘evidence’ doesn’t come up if anyone Googles his name.

Earlier this month my girlfriend of nearly four years got back from three months in Africa and told me that our long term plans to move to Australia, get married and have babies had changed. More specifically she was still planning to do it but I am no longer invited. Dumped. Bugger.

Today my boss took me out and bought me a coffee. She told be that my contract would be ending in March. Fired. Bugger.

The point is that now I have lost my girl and my job my life is starting to resemble a country and western song. If I had a dog or a bible I would be watching them very closely. Instead I will be keeping a close eye on my laptop (trusty companion) and my copy of Bill Bryson’s, A Short History of Nearly Everything (probably the best book on science ever written).

London has been covered in more snow recently than any time in the last 18 years. A lot of people have been complaining but personally I loved the opportunity to get the camera out and take some once-in-a-London-time photographs. I also wanted to try out this excellent flickr slide show tool that I saw on my mate Erik’s blog.
