Mark, the Professional Gardener

Working in the back garden, and cleaning out the last few remains of our fish pond we inherited from the previous owners. We sold off the fish once the Winter was over - it wasn't really something we wanted to keep in the long term, and the fact that the pump for the pond died the week before certainly helped us decide what to do and quickly!.

And yes, I do NOT know what possessed me to wear a white t-shirt whilst doing this! I think we weren't planning on doing something in the garden at that moment, but just sort of started and was well into it before I knew what was going on :P

The Marczewski Clan Visits London

I was lucky enough to have my dear friends Piotr, Magda and their son (my godson) Tomek visiting in London for my 35th birthday. We all went out to dinner at a burger joint in Covent Garden, where we enjoyed some delicious gourmet burgers.

Earlier, Liz & I took Magda & Tomek on a tour of London. We visited the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum, rode just about every bus we could find, and finished off enjoying some free ice creams courtesy of Ben & Jerry's. Tomek had been waiting for the ice cream all day, and was completely unphased by the long queue we faced when we got there - he boldly walked straight to the front of the line and asked for his ice cream! He was a tired little boy by the time we finished for the day.
