Where have you been?

Our Latvian roommate could fix pretty much anything. He is very technically skilled and incredibly patient. Fridges, ovens, cars, and mopeds. Nothing was a problem.


Naturally this talent required space to tear things apart and that ended up being our back yard. These show his 250cc moped in the "pre" condition.

Our flat was a 5/6 bedroom monstrosity. I've already been through some of the pictures, including our funky TV room and our messy ass kitchen. You can access those pictures by clicking on the Cambridge link in the Label column down to the right. All of the posts labeled with Cambridge will be shown.



I was living in what used to be the garage in a huge pink room. It must have been a girls room at one point, I can't see any reason for such a hot pink color. Fortunately it was quite roomy and had plenty of book shelves.

Our other full time roommate was this lovely lady from Jamaica. She was good fun but a bit messy. Not sure where she ended up after we got kicked out but I had enough to deal with myself so I never followed up.

At Chapman court there was a range of people - all pretty cool and from funky places, at least to an American. Above was our part time roommate from Lithuania. He was in and out quick but I continued to see him on a regular basis as he was buddies with my two other roommates with whom I am still in contact.


My clubbing friend here is also from Lithuania or is it Ukraine. Depends on what day you ask him...


Third roommate and still good buddy, shown here on the right with the two others, is from Latvia. He was the best man at our wedding. All three of them are still in England, two still in Cambridge and the other in London. Good times.

It has been difficult to get back into blogging after such a long time and I think I am just going to have to power through until I get back into things. Lets continue where we left off years ago with a summary of things in England.


You might remember I lived in Cambridge for two years and worked at the University there. It was a great time and not only did I have a lot of fantastic friends but I also met my wife there.


Part of the fun was the carefree life style I had there. Everything was fairly relaxed and where I lived the people were mostly easy going. We are looking at pictures here (and this pick up just were we left off previously) from my flat from Chapman Court. This place was pretty crazy will all the things that went on and the odd people coming and going but as these show it was also pretty beautiful as well.


I lived there for only maybe 6 months before we were unceremoniously thrown out right before Christmas but that is another story for another day.
