What A Fortnight!

Wow! First, two of my friends are moving to Sydney, so we had one heck of a sending-off party for them with many old friends from CBS that I haven't seen in ages. Then it was my first Christmas party, where my team of fellow contractors won the quiz. Then there was my second Christmas party where we found out the quiet video editor guy is actually an incredible dancer. Then I went to see NXT Takeover wrestling live at Wembley Arena. Then I went with Mum & Dad to see Christmas carols at the Royal Albert Hall.

And now it's the first real holiday I'm getting all year. I think I need to recover!

Paris Part III

I've just gotten back from my third trip to Paris. I stayed at the same hotel that I did the first time I visited six years ago. Although this time I was in the front of the building, so it was a bit nosier.

I was a little surprised to see that there were not that many Christmas lights around. Maybe I just didn't go to the areas where the lights were hung, but it was still nice to get back and see my favorite city. The weather in London was apparently horrid, so the beautiful sunshine in Paris was a nice contrast. It was a bit on the chilly side, though.
