St Paul's today, that got my step count up. Quite a good view from up there; I could see from Wembley right across to Canary Wharf. With all the tower blocks around it you don't realise just how high it

Standing on a roof terrace on the Greenwich peninsula, looking over to Canary Wharf. Cool place. Bit pricey for yours truly though! Lots of touristing today as we trawled central London by bus, train and

Enjoyed the weekend. There was a great atmosphere at the baseball even if I can't say it's all that enjoyable to watch. To me, it was very stop-start and there were too many periods of not very much happening.

I'm staying right in London's docklands and after crossing town to get here I then went on a long exploratory walk around the Isle of dogs. After that I went back into town for another wander, from King's

Boring day spent getting ready for departure tomorrow. Watched Romania U21 team lose 4-2 to Germany in the semi final of the European Championships. Germany were always more incisive and clinical. I think

I didn't do any real exercise today after yesterday's efforts. Frankly, my legs were like lead weights. So, I pursued my cash problem, and my attempts yielded very little. Nonetheless, I got some movement

This will be the scene that greets us this weekend at the MLB London Series. It's from the MLB Twitter account. Today I went for it: 10k run (to make up for yesterday's shorter effort) and then took the

Put the new Fitbit through its paces with a short run this morning. I would've gone on for longer but the heat was overwhelming. Note to self: tomorrow, get out at least one hour earlier. I started around

Today O had to bite the bullet and acquire a new Fitbit for myself so I could start recording accurately again. On Friday, I must have had at least 12,000 steps but my phone didn't record very well for

A very, very short storm broke the heat briefly. Apart from the ten minutes of crazy rain, the only way to escape the infernal pressure cooker is to sup some cold liquid. Not the healthiest choice, but

I had to get my way across town to a friend's flat to pick up my scuba diving gear that is in there storage. I part walked and also Lime'd it! In the afternoon I was booked in for my father's day present,

Today I was very touched because my students threw a surprise party for me because I am leaving their school. They even went to the effort of getting an Everton cake, which was almost sabotaged by some

It really looked like there was going to be a storm earlier, which would've given is a break from the heat. Alas, it wasn't to be, and we are still sweltering in 34 degrees (give or take). Spent the day

Yesterday was the secondary school award ceremony and Graduation! I did count my steps but by the time I got home it was nearly 3 AM and my steps got wiped!!!! I won the "CIS High school Student of

Father's day! 😁 My daughter took me out to Maison de Crepe. A lovely pancake House in the center of Bucharest. We then did a lot of walking around in the sunshine. We ended up a the shopping mall for

So, today was fathers day and even though I said it to him this morning with a card and a cup of coffee, I wanted to say it again, but where you guys could see it! Happy fathers day to the best dad! I

Bit of a weird day. Been feeling unusually crappy for the last three days but today I had an enjoyable lesson, preparing a creative piece based on The Handmaid's Tale, and also just did a lot of reading.

Today we went to the shopping mall. We caught the tram in. The first thing we did was go to the cinema. We watched Aladdin. I have to say it was excellent. Well worth going to see. We had a nice meal at

Today was a huge day for my daughter Jaime. Earlier on we had to go to the dentist to get her stitches removed from her wisdom tooth extraction. Later in the evening we all went to the end of year awards

The image is actually from last night. I couldn't post yesterday because by the time I sat down, it was past midnight. A big day for us as a family. It was the graduation, which is a major part of my job
