first photo taken with the canon 400d
Just got a new camera - the Canon 400d. Very excited about owning a digital SLR! The first decent lens (a Canon 10-22mm wide-angle) is on order, but in the meantime here's a panorama I took with the kit lens and stiched together. Click it for the full-size version.

poker - bellamy is back!
Welcoming back my old friend Steve, who cleared up on the final table. Only told us afterwards that he's now a professional poker player, the rogue!

the test drive and.. more poker!
A local BMW dealer came to our office today with the latest 2007 range, and Jon and I booked in for test drives. I took out the BMW 335i M-Sport convertible, and it knocked my socks off!
The car leapt forward at the slightest touch of the right foot - I had never driven anything like it! Having the roof down emphasised the speed and the beautiful sound of engine. The route was to London city airport and back, passing only one speed camera along the way 
The BMW salesperson who came out with me was a pro race driver and he offered to take over and show me "what the car was capable of" in the last five minutes of the test drive. When he got in, he turned off stability control and traction control and really let rip for a highly entertaining, completely insane, flurry around Canary Wharf! Needless to say this was the highlight of my day and I couldn't concentrate on anything else when I got back into the office. I was lost in £47,000 daydreams 
After work tonight I joined my teammates for dinner at the Elephant Royale thai restaurant, which happens to be just down the road from my house. At the end of the meal, conversation turned to poker, and five enthusiasts headed back to mine for a £10 game. These are the results:

a great sunday afternoon - inline skating in the park, curry, comedy dvds
Went out on rollerblades with Dan, Wendy, Al, Carole and Dave today. It was a lot of fun and good on Dave and Carole for buying skates at the last minute to join in on the action!
Afterwards we all headed back to mine, Al's and Carole's house for a curry followed by a couple of hours of stand-up comedy on the projector. Bill Bailey's "Bewilderness" DVD never gets old!
