Track Day

I’ve added all the pictures that Becky took (which were surprisingly good!) to my Flickr page.
Here’s a taster image of me in an E-Type Jaguar…

See the rest of the pictures here.

Galleries!

After far too much faffing about, I’ve managed to get the old galleries from Dec12 online. You can find these under the ‘Pages’ section in the sidebar to your right.
Please have a look, and let me know what you think, as I’ve found the experience frustrating (even if it was a worthwhile exercise in […]

Nymphomation!

Hello there. For the time being, this is the new Dec12.co.uk. Due to the old site receiving a ridiculous amount of spam, and Supanames hosting not being compatible with updating my antispam lists, I’ve decided to take Dec12 down, and redirect to here.
I’ve migrated just about everything to this site anyway, so you […]

I’m back!

I got back to the UK yesterday, and managed to sleep from 12am yeterday until 5am this morning. Epic sleepage!
So obviously, no more animal spotting. It is indeed a sad day.
It’s bloody cold here, I’d almost forgotten how cold. It’s good to be back though.
Here’s a picture of me at the Taj […]

A tour of Delhi

Hello again. This weekend we’ve been mostly touring Delhi. So far we’ve seen:
Connaught Place (shopping centre in middle of Delhi).
National Museum of India (DULL).
The Red Fort (Red).
Qutab Minar (Bigass tower).
Lotus Temple (looks like Sydney Opera House).
Some guys tomb.
India Gate.
Parliament House.
Quite a lot of stuff really, most of it quite boring cultural. Was nice […]

An eventful day!

On Wednesday evening we drove (well ok we were driven, there’s no WAY I’d drive here!) to Agra which is around 200km from Delhi. Though not far, the journey took 4 hours!
On Thursday morning we visited the Taj Mahal which was nothing short of stunning. We then visited Sikandra and Fatepur Sikri, both […]

Day 3 in the Big Indian House…

Not much to say today. Most of last night was spent nursing a poorly stomach, though I did manage to read an entire book in the bath, which is a bit opulent!
Workwise things are still going excellently. Every morning we prepare a list of questions on the topics we discussed the previous today, […]

Another update from India

We are doing work! So far (and it’s only 2pm here) I’ve done about 4.5 hours of solid presentations; 2.5 hours yesterday and 2 hours today. Everyone seems to be understanding things though, which proves that it is a lot easier to explain things in person that it is via pounds and pounds […]

Hello from India!

We are in India!
It is a very odd place. The traffic is unbelievable! Yesterday we ended up on on the back of one of those 3 wheeled motorised rickshaws being driven by a man who was encouraged to drive even faster by our nervous laughter. It was quite an experience, and one […]
