Audrey's thoughts

Just asked Audrey what she thought of me, not sure what her response is, probably good though. 

Not posted for a while

Well I have been in Denver for about 6 weeks now and the routine of life has settled into a nice pace.  My life loop at the moment involves getting up around 8am, for some reason I find that really easy to do here, going to the local coffee shop (St Marks) to work for a few hours, back to the apartment to work, lunch, afternoon of work interspursed with Jerry Springer and Dr Phil, followed by an evening in or out.  I have rented a piano for 6 months so I can annoy our neighbours with my "excellent" piano playing, currently learning the Brandenburg (I think thats how it is spelt) concerto No 1 and 5.  This fad (Andy) has lasted quite a while, and I have just remembered Andy's fad, the remote control car petrol thing.  The weather here is unreal ever since I got here it has been non stop sun, 100+, the weather is so hot and consistent,

On July 5th, we are going to Mexico for a week, to Puerto Vallartra, on an all inclusive, first beach holiday for, well I can't remember.  Yes I am a poor tortured sole who never gets a holiday.  Late August early september Mark is coming over and we are going on a road trip to LA, via Las Vegas.  Should be fun, hopefully Mark won't forget to bring his LFN ;-).

I am back in the UK from July 26th untl the 21st August.

Coffe Table Finished

Great team effort for this amazing coffee table, complete with felt pads, and shag rug - now what i am sayin.... 

The making of a coffee table

Tonight we started to make a coffee table (my idea inspired by Audrey). After purchasing necessary tools from Home Depot (pronounced Home Deepowe) for $63, we now almost have a table worthy of a $300 price tag. We were getting frustrated looking around furniture stores for tables that looked like s**t, with $200 price tags, so why not build your own. Here you can see us sanding down the wood, priming it and painting the first coat.



 

May 2006 - Moving to Denver

I have now moved to Denver, Colorado, to try out the mid-west American lifestyle. Everyone kept asking whether I was worried to move here, I wasn't as all is required is a plane ticket and a case full of clothes. Denver is a cosmopolitan town in the middle of the USA. It has some of the best snow conditions on the planet, and a great long lasting summer. It is known as the mile-high state because the state is a mile above sea level. Soon after moving here Audrey and I found an apartment on City Park, see the pic below of our first moving in meal. Our move was sponsored by the Rainer Fruit company.

Evening meal

The evening meal was in a castle hotel on the Loch Lomand shores.
