iceLife The half heard mutterings of a Kiwi a long, long way from home.

This Saturday I went to my employers premises to baby sit an update of the software system I work on. Things went reasonably smoothly which is always good.

I work in Canary Wharf at the global headquarters of a bank. I still find it an impressive building. I work on the 36th floor.

This is how my building looks from the front.

And then that Saturday afternoon and then again on Sunday afternoon, J and I watched Arsenal, Inter Milan, Valencia and Paris St Germain compete against each other in the Emirates Cup competition.

The Emirates Cup is a friendly tournament between 4 major league European teams where each team plays two games, one a day. So we got to see 4 matches between these top quality sides which was very entertaining. It's held at Arsenal's home ground the Emirates Stadium, which is very new as stadium go and quite whizzily put together. Arsenal won the Cup this year but not by a whole lot.

You get to see a few great football shirt adaptations when you go to live matches here, and these two definitely got my "shirt of the day" award! Classy effort. Think of the persuasion that went into this! I got this photo in the tube tunnel that leads up towards the ground.

Luckily for me they stood the right way for the photo. :-)
