      W-E-E-K-E-N-D, it's weeeekend.

    <p>      
      On Saturday we went down to London to go and see the most excellent <a
      href="http://www.earthfromtheair.com/"><cite>Earth From The Air</cite></a>
      (also know as <cite>Earth From Above</cite>) on the South Bank, next to the
      half-gerkin GLA building.  The photography is amazing, and I recommend
      that everyone go.

      As you can see, the weather was pretty rough.  I'd have liked to taken more
      photographs, but we were starting to get frostbite...
    </p>
    <p>
      Then on to Oxford Street, to check out the HMV sale.  Bad move.  I found
      some bargains, and got <cite>Trouser Jazz</cite> (Mr Scruff),
      <cite>Between Darkness And Wonder</cite> (Lamb), <cite>Pre-Millennium
      Tension</cite> (Tricky) and <cite>Laika Come Home</cite> (Space Monkeyz
      &amp; Gorillaz) for &pound;20, so rewarded myself with <cite>Bubba
        Ho-Tep</cite>.  Then we stopped off at a local pub for a pint or two
      (for future reference it's <cite>The Green Man</cite> on Berwick Street),
      before heading out to find <a
        href="http://www.red-onion-restaurant.co.uk/"><cite>The Red
          Onion</cite></a>.  The food there is excellent (thanks to Russel for
      mentioning it in the past), and reasonably priced: two starters and mains
      with a bottle of wine was &pound;50.  My only complaint is that the
      service was a little slow, but we did arrive the same time as a party of
      20.

      Sunday is laze day: a bit of cleaning and listening to the new music.  As
      a second reward to myself for being relatively good in HMV I bought
      another three albums in the morning: <cite>Out From Out Where</cite> (Amon
      Tobin), <cite>Sounds From The Verve Hi-fi</cite> (Thievery Corporation),
      and <cite>Birth Of The Cool</cite> (Miles Davis).  I best stay away from
      Amazon for a while now...
