VIEW FROM THE NEW

Here it is...

Baby, Baby, Baby...

So many different things to say, but let’s start with Charlie… the newest Park player to move in arrived late (premature) last month with all the hoopla of a real future star of the football field…

Before that the SB (Shit Box) imploded due to some on street attention of the St James’s Park kind, we woke to find a large tin of black metal paint all over the roof, wind screen, air ducts and engine bay… tow truck arrived two hours later and away it went to the breaker’s yard for a final fling… next new hot wheels arrive (as that day the SB was to be traded on the ST (blue two seater from our Honda dealer) was the day we woke to find the black stuff had stuffed it… good bye 400 pound trade-in, but no the sales guy felt such glee in the fact that he did not have to get rid of it he gave us the 400 any way… nice motor guv!

Next big tick is that I get a new employer, still in the Park that HRH, with the biggest train set runners in the business… really looking forward to finishing my time with the dark side and moving back into the light! Begin some time in August after completing the hand holding for a number of railway dreamers, who have woken up and realised they can pay the bills if the Bill is passed in the Commons… next three weeks before a Select Committee of the House of Commons with my railway mates… most of whom don’t live near the Park…

Next big one, almost the biggest for us (sorry Charlie), we put an offer in on a small flat with a balcony with views over the river… a little far from the park but with the key to the train set part of the package for the new job – bearable! The offer is accepted and now we have to enter the dragon of Park Conveyancing with a hefty mortgage to boot (I’m talking large house in Camberwell (Melbourne)) which is now on the cards… although some how cheaper that the rent… that’s London for you! Picture of the view included for your viewing pleasure…

So finally Mrs Park is off to NYC to visit and attend a wedding while Mr Park is left hand holding… So Damo and I are batching it in the Park and trying to find the wheels to his bickerton (folding bike)… which were taken while he was getting supplies for the Wick house…




O’ by the way made it to Lille (France) two weekends ago which threw up the very fine specimen of a CV… until next time (Dubrovnik awaits)… enjoy baby!
