First pics

I’ve taken a bit of time out to sift through the [MILLION] photos we’ve taken so far on our Heading North 2012 trip and have popped about 100 onto Flickr.

For friends, family or anyone else that has shown an interest, the London pics are here, the first lot of Disneyland Paris ones here and Alex and my day out in Paris here. There will probably be more added to each of the sets in good time, but I’m tired of playing on Flickr now and I’m going for a beer.

Deal with it.

Open Your Eyes

Some Snow Patrol, I think. Not because this blog is anything to do with Grey’s Anatomy (who love Snow Patrol rather too much) – we’re far more dramatic (and medically plausible) than that. No, some Snow Patrol because this video for Open Your Eyes features Paris, which is where I should be arriving this afternoon.

Yes, I’m writing this post way in advance and yes, this sort of thing has gone horribly wrong before with European capital city trips.

Incidentally, we at 6000 miles… in no way condone the reckless behaviour of the driver in this video, but we do still think the idea is pretty cool and we do wish that we could give something like this a go one day in Cape Town.

For those interested, the film used is called C’était un Rendezvous (“It was a date”) and was filmed by Claude Lelouch in 1976.
Here’s the wiki.

Sweaty palms?

Not much from me here today, except this video which I was reminded of by my 2 year old daughter, who – on the way to school on Friday – informed me that she liked cranes, but she didn’t like swords.

So there you have it.

I still get shivers and sweaty palms when I see this. The lack of explanation as to who these blokes are and why they are doing this.
Google – my usual aide in such matters is surprisingly unhelpful as well.
