This weekend seemed to have me spend most of it in the South-East area of London, specifically Greenwich and Blackheath. Except for Friday, which was in town having work drinks for a while.

Saturday was the rugby in the afternoon - Wales vs South Africa at the Millennium Stadium. Was a reasonable game, with SA winning 20-15. In the evening was the Blackheath Fireworks Display, from about 20h00.

After the fireworks, we went back to Gav's place for a bit - I then went onto another party, also in Greenwich - this one was at Susie's place. Left there a fair bit after midnight and had a mission with a combination of buses to get home. But managed in the end.

Yesterday was again another day spent in Greenwich, this time at the O2 Arena. They've got the 'Body Worlds & The Mirror of Time' exhibition currently on display. To quote from their website: "Body Worlds is a traveling exhibition of preserved human bodies and body parts that are prepared using a technique called plastination to reveal inner anatomical structures."

That was an amazing afternoon spent walking around there. You've always seen plenty of pictures of the insides of a human, but to see actual preserved bodies (both humans and animals) was just incredible.
