... a trip with my old mate from primary school, who whisked me out along the Thams...

The Mayflower pub - where a certain ship once set sail.

Didn't take many photos... here's the Thames River Polce HQ, and HMS Belfast, moored just by the Tate Modern, where we spent much of the aernoon, while lady t plotted at home...

Got back home for the reults of the plotting - 30 or 40 people crammed oin our house intent on plying me with (more) alcohol, lots of pressies.

A wonderful haul - you lot might most appreciate this one, made by my wonderful sister in law; found this denim on eBay. It's a real 40s cut; all I need ow is a job in a hardware store.

Today was a fantastic lunch at Bocca di Lupo, an amazinh restaurant based on Charlie Chester's Casino in SOho - a hangout for the Kray Twins notorious East End gangsters and also, incidentally where David Bowie once auditioned for legendary producer Mickie Most. The nipper is now on first name terms with the chef, Jacob Kennedy, who sent over a few specialty sausages, as he was so impressed by how he'd polished off the black pudding and leverett. A great evening, a great morning, I still have that nice trippy feeling.

Now, to get to grips with that booze. I may be some time...

Went to dinner at a friends place and got so fucked up I have no recollection of the latter half of the night. Woke up in so much pain today with a chunk of hair missing from the back of my head. Had barely enough strength to eat some painkillers and these;

+rep for eating the best instant noodle.

Guest I LOVE LFC

So it was me 25th birthday on friday, not that I've gone on about it or anything!! So had dinner with the parents on friday then on saturday dropped Shi off with them at 11am and the drinking began. Sorry about the shitty pics, we forgot the camera so they were taken on a 3mp phone camera,

These were all taken around 11:30pm when I realised I hadn't taken any photos of the night!

We ended up in a shit hole like usual, but there was a band on so it was a laugh

Went back to my lady's sisters house to attempt to play Tiger Woods, I ended up being a tart

So went home about 3am so I could get up for the match the next day. Lets just say it never went too well!!!!! So I'll say no more about that

Ended up in another dive to watch the Blackpool game and get bladered again. Was a great weekend!

Gonna be a picture dump. Since I had the family in town for the wedding, that meant we did some traveling.

First, to Hangzhou. The wife already decided she needed to start praying for a new addition. So here she is at Lingyin Temple.

No trip to Beijing would be quick without a trip to the Great Wall... This time we went to Mutianyu. From the chair lift.

Today my jeans cussed out two taxi drivers and almost came to blows with another dude 'cause PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW THE FUCK TO DRIVE IN THIS COUNTRY.

My jeans are really REALLY ready to go back to the States for 10 days.

This is how stoked I am:

Today's torrential storms helped me decide to try my hand at waterproofing with some Obenauf's LP and water-proofing spray

From the weekend

Went for a short hike in a close by reservation where there is a large reservoir that supplies much of the Boston area its water.

Saw an awesome treehouse,would have been so stoked to have one of these as a kid.

P1010825.JPG

The next day I went to King Richards Faire. I've never been to a renaissance fair and I have to say it was pretty fun. Not much more you can ask for than to get drunk and watch knights joust.

We met a really tall guy, who referred to my girlfriend as the "gnome in the beret"

"Bring out yer dead"

Doesn't get much better than mead and a turkey leg

The Joust

A tiger, I felt bad he was stuck in such a small cage, but apparently the group that owns them is the main go to tiger handlers for all of Hollywood, and is responsible for bringing back a couple kinds of tiger from the edge of extinction.

Doctor Who came for a visit, not sure why he didn't just go back to the real middle ages.

These knights were hammered, and were arguing in sloppy old English.

By Dragon Pets they meant cheap plastic dragons for 40 dollars. They must have made a killing.

Tiger brochure gave me a good laugh.

What my Burgus 770s did on their last weekend before I joined the Eternal 811 contest...

Went to visit my wife's relatives who live on the outskirts of Shanghai. There's corn & other vegetables growing outside their apartment.

5095720296_04808bbcbc_z.jpg

Had a massive family feast, what used to look like alien food now looks scrumptious to me. Check out the black chicken!

5095120695_b034fb519f_z.jpg

The piece de resistance was of course, Shanghai hairy crabs (or da zha xie 大闸蟹 as we call it)

5095724536_bf259e7636_z.jpg

Yellow pages, China style

Freshly picked cotton, just waiting for me to weave it into a pair of jeans

Summer is fading fast into Autumn but the bees are still busy harvesting flowers

Wugui was happy because I bought him a new tank, feeder fish, and female company. Big improvement on the pink bucket he's been living in for the past 10 years.

Bye bye burgus...

^^Great pic my man...but that's it? Let's get some more, and if not pics...words. after all, if I were to take the name of this thread literally your post would read, "today my jeans hung out on a tetris-esque wall" and I'm sure they did more than that! Great photo op none the less.

Actually, this page is on fire. Some great stuff here!
