Diwali 2009

So yesterday was Diwali, and our friend Ajay must be about the only Hindu in Frankfurt, so it seemed appropriate that we help him celebrate with a ton of home cooked Indian food and a shitload of candles. Props to the Bolton boy himself for whipping up kickass chicken curry (check the pic), although it was truly no match for my mighty lamb biryani.

Isi and Muri also busted out Singstar on the Playstation... the German version, complete with 'Wind of Change' by The Scorpions (the singing of which by Nat surely has given me ear cancer) but, to my huge disappointment, sadly lacking in any Hasselhoff action.

Big Bish's 30th

The beautiful big sister, Becky, of my beautiful girlfriend, Natalie, joined me in reaching the ripe old age of 30 last weekend. Congrats Becky. It's not as bad as you think, now that you're here.

We flew back to Bournemouth for the party, and had an absolute blinder - amazing weather for it too. Thanks for a great weekend to everyone who was there.

Although, it's a shame that Winter has finally arrived in Frankfurt. We came back to 4°C. Still, after having such an amazing summer, it's kind of nice to feel a proper change in the seasons. Time to get out with the camera and get some nice Autumn pics.

So two weekends ago we were in Salou for WRC Spain. Saw the rally, met the drivers, had VIP lunch, took a tour of the TV trucks and service area.

All told, it was an amazing weekend. Massive thanks to my big brother David, who actually won the trip himself, but was generous enough to give the prize the Nat and I. David... you're a hero! Hope the goody bag that we sent you arrived in one piece.

Pics from the whole weekend are HERE!

Hope you like them.
