After year and a half I have finally decided to revive my blog about nothing and everything. As I do not dare to call it Reload 2.0 (too many and sequels to greatest movies and books never use numerals - LOTR anyone?) I am going for Dignity Afterlife. Two years older and a bit wiser I am embracing modern technology and writing this post using android app on my tablet on the aeroplane - also I am immensely bored downing bloody marries...
As this is intro post written on the short haul flight don't expect much:-)
To quickly summarise past two years: Moved to London. Fell in love with rugby. Fell in love with cricket. Fell in love with tea with milk. Visited Ascot. Favourite of the main race broke a leg in the final stretch. Went to Cardiff. Nice castle. Saw Wales beat Italy. Love grandmas in Welsh jerseys. Work like crazy. Went to Zambia. Hot and humid. Zambia is surprisingly safe. Africa is being completely mined out by China and India. Went to Oval. Tow days. Sachin T.! Almost booed Sachin. Amy came to Europe. Crazy travel but best ever. Saw mountain goats and bear cubs - all wild. Tatras forever. Four capitals in four days - Budapest, Vienna, Bratislava and Prague. Went to Russia. Love Moscow and its girls. And its restaurants - although expensive. And its girls. Worked crazy hours. Went to Manchester. Curry mile forever. Torpedoed Kobra. Drunk rainbows. Too much. Spent New Years in London. Nice fireworks. Seen better - HK anyone? Went to China. Went to Russia. Went to St Petersburg. Love the city. Hermitage is on par with Louvre. Love the cathedrals. Like babushkas kissing the icons. Aurora leads the way! Need to see Lenin. Russian style forever. Still indifferent to football - after year in London?! Fell in love with London's restaurants - food capital of the world. Switched to English way of having lunch - in front of the computer - but still need soup. Killed the transaction - competition got sued - HAHA! Transaction completed. Went to Russia - again... Went to China. Got sick. Both of us - properly sick. Listing completed - finally. Went to Prague. Went to Sweden. Hotels unjustifiably expensive. Stockholm is nice. Don't get Scandi working hours. Don't get Scandi vacation system / allowance - seems most of the time everyone is on vacation / national holiday. Prejudices about nations are true. Transaction completed. Went to Glasgow. Lot of trash on the streets. Pathetic half marathon time. Don't do sports enough - at all. Tried basketball for couple of months. Screwed my ankle for good. Went to Kews. Best botanic garden in the world. Shook hands with queen's cousin. He is not Sinatra... Went to France - splendid weekend of drinking and music in Cognac. Olympics!! London deserved it. Wonderful. Atmosphere and volunteers and events - all praise no complains. Everyone enjoyed. Paralympics - same as big sister event. Went for tennis masters. Nole! Broke up with Amy. Got back together with Amy. Brother thinks i am pathetic. Went to Twickenham. Only Kiwi loss in a year and I have to witness?! Need to learn Sweet Chariot. Went skiing - after two years - felt so good:-) Resorts in Tatras developed a lot. But you get what you pay for. Went to Bath. Roma victor! Friends visiting. Too many friends visiting:-) Went to Budapest. Changed a lot. Properly depressed. Five years of gloom and doom does that I guess. Getting on the Chelsea's bandwagon - not there yet. Only because of Russian money. And Yankees way of doing things. Where is the spring? Went to Edinburgh. Bloody cold. Went to Murrayfield. Scotland v Wales. Too many Welsh jerseys. Got good tickets - stands close to the pitch. Went to Budapest. Where is the spring? Love London.
And this is just about it. There are plenty of omissions which I simply forgot or was lazy to write down. From now on the posts will be regular - fingers crossed - and about something more interesting.
