Unlike the many other Aussies celebrating this event in all the Walkabouts around London, I went along to Gerrod and Ben‘s traditional Australia Day party out in Chiswick. Part of the tradition is listening to the JJJ’s Hotest 100 countdown, something I’m glad we could still do thanks to the streaming two hour blocks from JJJ’s website. I think I arrived somewhere around #75 and hung around way past the #1 song that, surprisingly ended up as Muse’s Knights of Cydonia.

The party also meant a great opportunity to catch up with many of the people who I hadn’t seen well before leaving for India and a few other people I’d never met before yet I’d seen on their respective blogs. We ducked out for a late lunch at Ground and disappointingly we ended up having to eat outside where many people froze to death. The burgers here were decently sized yet I still think that GBK’s shakes and fries are much better (we didn’t even dare go since they said it’d be another two hour wait).
