After I get over this cold I am determined to get out of Dodge for the weekend! It’s been such a cold January so bring on February! We’ve booked Bruges for May, but Marrakech for Easter should be great. I think the winter will be play-time with ‘Waiting for Godot‘ and ‘Warhorse‘ booked in – should be great.

Amsterdam Goodness

Well despite the rain Amsterdam turned it on. Supperclub was sensational last night!
Canals, museums, red light districts, bars… It’s got it all.
Great weekend – I could just do without the rain. Give it to people who really need it – like Aussies who actually live in Australia.

It’s getting colder but Chelsea is winning

Battersea this afternoon. A couple of glasses of red and I was a happy boy with the Blues beating Man U at the Bridge.

Touch wood everything is going OK. Looking forward to Christmas and New Year. All I can think about is a warm few weeks at the end of the year before submitting myself to the northern winter yet again.

Roll on Aus, Roll on!

It’s been a quiet weekend… not too much happening on the home front, planning the next holiday to the Netherlands though. Also counting down to the 10k race. I really want to build up to a marathon by the end of next year. Hockey starts in the UK towards the end of this month so I’m keen to get into it…

Ok so i dont usually blog about geeky stuff BUT i couldn’t resist to tell you that my old Macbook has just had a new lease on life (with no changes in hardware mind you) – it’s called Snow Leopard and it rocks.

Smoking startup and shutdown times compared to the previous version. Oh and it also increased the free disk space too. Oh did I mention it was only £25.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it Microsoft!

Out to a new venue (for me) in Islington. O2 Academy apparently is quite a good venue for live music. Tonight we’re off to see Sneaky Sound System who are playing at the V Festival this weekend too.

Should be fun

Arrived late to find The Presets on iTunes UK Store. I’ve been meaning to pick this up for a while.
Really enjoying Apocalypso after wearing out my MGMT album.

So happy with this shot of Brighton! I had it in the can and I didn’t give it another thought until I uploaded to Flickr.
The Nikon D40X has been in for a service due to a faulty Auto Focus (AF) unit. A sensor clean in professional hands was a much appreciated side effect.

Brighton on a sunny day is a lovely place to be!

Early train to Cardiff after a great weekend. Cricket on Friday was great fun. I’m crossing fingers and toes a world record on a great pitch is possible. Could be a touch naive. Oh well.
