Drunken Injury

So, after getting a bit boozed with some work ppl, I managed to have a bit of an oopsy in the Shepherds Bush tube station.

Fell on the stairs and cut my head open.

Bit of the old bleeding-down-face made for some interesting looks on the bus on the way home (as the tube was apparnelty not running in the end).

Also made a pretty grand entrance upon arriving home :)

Work still sucks on a hangover/sore head, as you would imagine...

France. Well...Paris

So, having come to the realisatikon that Europe is obviously too lazy to come and visit me, well, I guess I need to go and visit it.

...starting with a trip on the Eurostar to Paris.

After a few "Bonjour"s and "Merci"s later, I'm back.

Managed to pack in pretty much all the standard touristy sight thingies into a couple of days, including:

Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre (well, some of it), Basilica of the Sacré Cœur, the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées. Also caught a few other things like and old French cemetary and some random modern art installations on the seine.

Food was expensive and it was bloody cold. Otherwise, fun times. Good to finally get across to the continent finally.

A bit weird to feel like a tourist again. I even took some photos, which I've not done for ages.
