thanks Jes... and Niall

Last night I felt it was high time I caught up with Jessamyn Pui Ching Lau, after randomly bumping into both her younger sister in Chelmsford, and younger brother in Leeds within the last month. Jes is an old friend and former landlady of mine (actually I used to squat in her Bermondsey house - oh and the Elephant and Castle one I think too?!), and we hadn't spoken for too long so many tales were told of past adventures and future plans. Anyway, after Jes suggesting that I start a blog, and I being entirely skeptical about the idea, I have spent the last day at 'work' looking into it and creating landscape fika. And now I have decided to start a personal one.

Me being me, I really wanted to have flinn.blogspot.com but this was already taken by a Niall Flinn who had written a brief couple of posts back in 2004. Luckily he mentioned where he was working, and luckier still, he was quite amiable when I called him a couple of hours ago at his workplace to ask if he minded me having the blog name. Cheers Niall, wonder if we're related?

Lastly; for all those who feel like they have bitten off a little more than they can chew, here is a picture of my house last saturday.
