The Adventures of Lorie and Brian Groth

Let’s hope they build it! See: UK’s Lightning to build all-electric GT sports car – Engadget

We took Milo to Wimbledon via the District Line on Sunday where we met up with Megan, Alan, and of course Daisy. Milo and Daisy like to play and run until they collapse, which is great for us. The photo of us sitting in the grass is a typical sunny weekend activity: go to a pub that is next to a park and bring food and drink from the pub to the park. Here we are at the Crooked Billet in Wimbledon where they give you a balloon with a weight on it so when they bring your food, they can find you in the park.  

   

While we do have quite a bit of fun with friends and Milo at pubs, comedy, pubs, theatre, pubs, dog parks, pubs, and tourist attractions, there are quite a few things that really stand out. So, to all you friends and family in the US keep track, and to help my own memory (the Swiss cheese of brains, with no offense to the Swiss intended), I have created Brian’s Favorite Blog Entries. This of course could also be… Brian’s view of fun things in life.

 

Of course, most adventures that I don’t document include Milo, since my hands are full when walking/running/chasing him, which keeps me from taking many photos. How could such an innocent dog be a handful?

We saw this when Michael and Trish were in town, but I forgot to mention it. If you get the chance I highly suggest it, or at least if you like some good comedy. It was funny as hell and wasn’t the puppet show I expected. Aaron and Rachel are going to see it Wednesday night and since they just graduated from college, I wonder what they will think.

Windows Live Spaces has a cool feature where you can send photos to a photo album via e-mail. When I walk around London, usually with Milo, I always have my cell phone with me. It has a mediocre camera, but it does make it easy for me to send photos to my photo album called Random London Photos, which I keep on the right-hand side of my site. So if you are curious to see what I see when meandering around, just check out my Random London photo album.

This is sorta funny. There are commercials running in the UK for Volvic’s bottled water. They now have a blog for the characters in the commercial. I like Tyrannosaurus Alan, but here is a photo of Volcano George.

This morning Cullen picked me up, we tossed our bikes in the back of his car, and I had my first mountain bike ride in the UK. We went to the Bracknell forest, which has a lot of logging roads, but it had good single tracks too. Some even had banked turns, which I had never experienced in Washington or Colorado mt. biking. We did have to pay £1.50 for permits, which was a new experience for me. I owe Cullen a pint for that one.
