04/13/2006: "We make it to the London Eye"

Finally got to take the kids on the London Eye. The day was significant for two reasons. First, because we'd had an abortive attempt to get on the thing at Christmas (blogs passim), when it was closed for maintenance. (It was freezing cold and an altogether unsatisfactory trip.) Second, because it was my only proper day off work since becoming self employed. By that, I mean it was the first real working day - a Thursday - that I've taken as a holiday. Previously, I've only stopped for a couple of hours' kip at a weekend.


Houses of Parliament from the British Airways London Eye: I tried to get elected here on two occasions, but couldn't get enough people to vote for me.
