I was lucky enough to get tickets for the United v Arsenal Champions League semifinal first leg game at Old Trafford last night, I was with my old UCC hockey mate Richie 'Lenny' Leonard, seen below enjoying the Champions League tune before kickoff!

Battersea Park
Today I took me and my camera down to Battersea Park for a wander around in the sun.
Few photos below and yes, more ducks again but this time with their ducklings! There is a photo in there too taken from Chelsea Bridge where you can see the London Eye and Big Ben. I got a nice little surprise when I saw it!

Canterbury
A bit late getting this post up but due to plenty of blog requests from our fans it is better late than never!!
It was Jim's birthday in February and I took him to Canterbury (first class train tickets and all!).
On our first day, and with blue skies, we decided to get the train to Whitstable and hit the beach! We had a lovely walk by the beach, stopped off in a lovely pub overlooking the sea for refreshments, strolled around the village and Jim even got a haircut in! A great day had by all by the beach. Went out that night for the best fajitas in town!
The next day was allocated to taking in the sights of Canterbury including seeing the Canterbury Cathedral and strolling around the city which was lovely with old cobblestone streets. So much history to soak up. See photos below.
We got fish and chips for the train journey home which was the perfect ending to a great weekend!
As you can see, I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend especially my fish and chips! :)

The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race 2009
Seeing as the Thames is a 10 minute walk from our flat and that the race starts at Putney Bridge (not too far from us) we decided to go and observe the boat race - all 10 seconds of it as they zoomed by us!
My camera came with me and I took a few photos of the wildlife and the race itself. We were not sure who was who and we eventually found out that Oxford won it.
If you're interested then here is the race report:

Here are a few photos of the race, ducks and the surroundings:
