Why am I so busy?

200 Chambers Street

You know after all my visitors I have gotten a little behind in work

I have completed over 240hours of work!! Which explains why haven't come up for air over the past 5 weeks

I made smashed my own personal record the other day with 90hours work in the week after Madoka had left for England its been insane!

Thankfully looks like things are finally settling down (As far as I can see!)

I have accustomed to my new boss and feeling a lot happier with myself and work

The Fruits of my labour

1. Massive Tree lined plaza with water fall on the axis of the entrance Lobby
2. One roof top garden on the 30th floor
3. Two Swimming pools (One directly under the plaza with a huge pyramid skylight the other on the 7th floor!!)
4. Two private terrace on the eighth floor (North and South Wing)
5. Two levels of underground carparking connected to streetlevel by massive spiral ramp!
6. Two Gymnasiums
7. A complete School 4 levels but the same
8. 8 stairs
9. 5 elevators (lifts to those in England)
10. Vast amounts of 1st floor retail space

Oh and by the way prices start at a ½ million dollars

So Chris can have two as long as he buys me the penthouse on the 29th floor... ... Its only 7Million prices still to be confirmed!

its a great building it even has its own Web site! Check it out

Sarahs first Birthday (+21)

June is a very hectic time for my family with a mass of Birthdays, stuff and me with all these things at work.. ..I just havent been able to keep up with everything! (Its been nuts!)

Hence the reason for this Blog!

As most of you who know Sarah would gather, it's my baby sisters Birthday today (except she's less of the baby now).

I dont know...It doesn't seem that long ago that we where pulling each others hair, pulling tongues, generally being a nuisance and complaining to mum that the other one started it!!

Now things have changed we have grown up (Yeh right) and within six months of each other both flewn the Proverbial nest

Sarah

Hope your settling in in your new home with your not so new man (Wayno the paino)
Hows tricks I tried to call you but couldn't get through. I guess you must be in full swing of your Anne Summers party by now. up to all mischief I could imagine

The question is whats in the package?

Only you can find out by comming to see me

I'll give you a clue... Second thoughs Nah I won't

Sarah

See you soon and sorry about no card this birthday (In fact isn't this the first birthday we've had appart?)

The blog God is listening!

After Much pleading with the Blog God I have been granted my photo blogging rights back!

Now its time to really fill this site with all the useful stuff that you really dont want to know about.......

........and Boy have I got a lot to tell you guys (and gals) back home.

I guess your really interested about all the juicy gossip stuff that happened to me over my "Blogging Break" which lasted just over 1.5 months! well I have decided to back date my posts so if your reading this you probably need to go back and find a post that you recognise!

If you go back and find nothing it means I have been lazy and not kept my promise


Watch this space

Blog God

Oh high and might blog god....

...I have to confess, it has be over 1 month since my last confession (Post) please forgive me I know not what I do! (Well i actually know exactly what I do).

Global bloggers and blog trotters unite to look at me in disgust!... ...But tell me how can i make it up to you oh blog Master.

What sacrifices can I make how many post must I submit?

But still you choose to deny me access to Photo blog!

Street Art and my attempt to notice it

Lets start with a bit of history that will allow you to apprieciate the cartoon below

In the beginning Manhattan Began it's life on the southern most tip (now known as Downtown) the growth was sporadic and random creating a series of spider like road systems eminating from the tip only a few roads cart track's existed like the broadway and the tracks along either side of the island

As the City grew it was clear that the development needed a new direction. Hence City Planners in all their wisdom decided to create a grid system and split the island into "Blocks" formed by a series roads known as Avenues (Up down) and Streets (across) with the odd exception (Diagonal roads like Broadway)

THE PUNCHLINE

This regular road system created almost entirely of right angles in my eyes created "The City of Cross Roads" so much for the "Big Apple"

all these cross roads lead to repetition so much so that on ever corner you can expect to see three things almost without question they are

1. The legendry Trash can or "bin" to us Brits
2. A Bus stop or Parking meter
3. A post box or newspaper box

Such repetion has leads to a lack of Character

However with time this lack of Character is lost and replaced by......




This is my example....




...when I saw this on the street, it made me smile.

Volunteer work in my local park

As promised here are a few pictures to prove I actually did do the work



Above: a very tired Andrew after a 6 hours of shovelling soil and mulsh and wheel barrowing it all around the park



Above: The fruits of our labour including the inaugural drink in guess what a British Pub in the (East) village!! I had a pint of Young's..... ....I hadn't had a proper English pint in over 5 months and it taste like the tears of angels! other word fantastic!

(So that one less reason for returning to England) only kidding I will see you all sooner than you think!!
