Goldie’s Adventure
Isle of Wight Festival – booked – unbelievable line-up (Crowded House, The Strokes, Jay-Z, oh and Paul McCartney)
Hard Rock Calling – Hyde Park – booked
V-Festival – Weston Park - locked-in – thanks Jono – sold out! The BEST line-up of a festival I have ever seen!
Can I just say this is going to be an AWESOME summer… just to think that we’ve got Croatia locked in as well!
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.
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…
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

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.
Day off tomorrow – a day out at Lords. Weather looks crap. Such a shame. Fingers crossed it’s a few light showers.
I consider myself to be quite clever. Today however a few school boy errors crept in to my game bringing me back to the other 98% of the population. I’m now on the train back to London and I’m completely drained.
Why does software have to be complicated. The answer is it keeps the other 2% in a job!
Well well.. it’s been a some time since I hit the blog with an update. Being a lazy Saturday morning and I can’t sleep in I thought I might give you an update.
Katherine and I are well, we’ve been to Ireland and Krakow over the past couple of months. Both places are fantastic. Dublin is mighty expensive given the state of Sterling, but the west coast of Galway is just magnificent.
Krakow is in another class. After going to Prague last year – which was a really pretty city, I found Krakow to be similar yet have a more down-to-earth feel. After I got back to London I put a Facebook update wishing for the ‘vibe’ to be imported. Thinking back I still wish this was the case.
Coming up this northern summer we are off Italy for a two week trip, through Roma, Napoli, Amalfi, Sicillia then back to London town. Before that though a weekend in Bath should be a nice getaway from the London life.
In other news it’s been hectic at work, which is a good thing. Keeping busy is all important. I find that I get bored if I’m not working. The problem I have is keeping focused on one thing. The all important list to write the to-do is my life line to staying on top of it all.
Katherine is well as am I (touching wood). I’m in the gym and making great use of Hyde Park up the road. Trying to stay fit in a country that loves a drink to socialise. A mate of mine from Melbourne who has moved over is looking into a couple of hockey clubs that we could join. We played hockey together in Melbourne so we are both keen to get back into it this September.
Anyway please keep in touch. I do enjoy hearing from you all.
Love to all.
Chris
