More tourist sight seeing today, this in the form of Lords Cricket Ground. Was always something I wanted to do, and never actually got around to doing it, so organised with Tom, Keith and Charlie to go through there today. A very interesting story about the history of Lords, as well as the current going ons there etc.

We started off in the museum (actually got to see the Ashes which was real cool), then moved into the Long Room, the change rooms and around the pavilion. Then outside we walked around the stands and then up into the futuristic Investec Media Centre where we had a great view of the ground. From there we got to walk around the ground a bit more and into the Lords shop.

After Lords, we headed over to Hackey for the Jimmy Carr show, Repeat Offender :) He was excellent, still my favourite comedian. Luke joined us for JC, as he had already done the Lords tour.

Interesting and busy weekend, unfortunately flies by so quickly though, but time flies when you're having fun I guess...
