Week 14 - International Pillow Fight Day

Completely silly but ultimately a great laugh and excellent stress relief!

This week I was in the centre of London for something a little different - International Pillow Fight Day.

Week 13 - University Boat Race

With the rowers out of sight after only a few seconds, the race over very quickly and the whole bank area of the river overcrowded with pompous tools, you have to question if it's worth it... Yet a surprisingly good time was had by all.

This week I headed down to the bank of the Thames to catch the annual Oxford-Cambridge University Boat Race.

Week 7 - Pancake Day Challenge

A cool atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food (for the first four pancakes or so) set the scene for this "Man vs. Food" style challenge

This week being something to do with some time vaguely related to the death of the alleged son of a god two thousand odd years ago, it seemed the only natural thing to do in recognition of this fact was gorge myself on pancakes at The Breakfast Club's Pancake Day Challenge.

Week 6 - Chinese New Year

So much potential, sadly dampened by the poor weather. However still a great atmosphere despite the rain.

Once again I found myself heading out early on a Sunday morning, this week to catch the Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown to say goodbye to the year of the dragon and hello to the year of the snake.

Week 5 - Science Museum Lates

Just about the most fun you can have in a museum - good crowd, great atmosphere, and science - the science of zombies no less, need I say more?

This week, on a dark winter Wednesday evening I found myself in South Kensington, where there was a strange feeing in the air. Heading down past the impressive Natural History Museum there was a deathly silence as the museum had closed for the evening. Turning the corner and heading towards the Science Museum however, there seemed to be a disturbance - some people seemed to be protesting and trying to gather support for their cause. Getting closer and their cause became evident as the Pro Zombie Action Group (PZAG), also noticeable was a large number of the walking dead waiting to enter the museum for Science Museum Lates - the science of zombies! 

Week 2 - Ice Sculpting

Lots of skill to appreciate in the final sculptures but something best to do if you are in the area.

Week 2 and I already needed something a little more chilled out in order to recover from week 1, so it was just as well the London Ice Sculpting Festival was on this weekend. 
Additionally, as a bit of a mid week bonus I also tried out a tabletop game, originating from Brazil, called Button Football.
