More Photos of Constanta in Winter, Feb 2012
These are actually pretty awesome — taken by my parents, after the sea has trashed the coast it seems, in Constanta, Romania:
I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect.

Yet another weekend of snowboarding in Tahoe — Kirkwood this time! Luckily, Denis was not around to capture any of my falls — so you get just some pictures of the snow ![]()
And since I’m on the subject of snow, here’s a few photos which I should have put up a couple of weeks ago — my hometown in full winter: 22/Jan/2012:
I missed the snow in London this year it seems, but Sarah made sure I got a bit of it ![]()
With my being in California, and Denis Lowe in my ear going on about Tahoe, it had to happen in the end: I took to Lake Tahoe this weekend and made my joined the ranks of snowboarders — snowboarding is awesome by the way! And Denis proved to be a pretty good teacher to be fair to him — though, granted, I still needed some lessons from an instructor as well ![]()
To be fair the trip proved quite costly — mainly as I had to eventually buy my kit (outrageous of them to only rent boots, snowboard and helmet!), so first trip prior to the trip saw me getting my jacket, thermal underwear, fleece, socks and so on, with the view of renting the trousers, visor and the rest there. So there goes $300! Only to get there and find out that I had to fork out another $300 on equipment as the rental only included the 3 items above. And then of course there’s another $130 on day pass, instructor training, and rentals. And to top it up, the night before we crossed the border to Nevada — sounds glorious, but it meant crossing one street and entering a casino, around 1am as everything in California was shutting down. Another $200! And we still have to pay Nikhil, who was a hero driving us there and back and sorting the accommodation for us — mate, you’re a legend!
