This is the kind of Monday I like, a day off work, lovely

I've been thoroughly lazy this weekend, in chill mode you might say. I did actually manage to see a lot of friends that I hadn't seen in quite a long time, in some cases a very long time, which was nice

The Chikinki Experiment, whom I went to see on Saturday night,...

There is a charity gig on tonight in Bristol, thats just up the road from me, featuring Portishead and Massive Attack, and a few others.
Not surprisingly, it sold out really quickly and no, I didn't get a ticket.
They are broadcasting it on the web though, so that will have to do, even if you have to donate for the privilege.
I'll probably go...

The last couple of days have been very pleasant.
It has nothing to do with the fact that it was Valentine's day yesterday, as nothing happened there,

as expected.

It must be the slightly warm winter sun making my brain think it's spring.

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
Confucius.

I've just had a very good weekend, it was a little excessive though, so I'm paying for it now.
Oh well, you've got to take the rough with the smooth eh!
I just went out for a usual Saturday night, a few beers and a boogie, but ended up going to a flat with some friends after the club, and then another friends flat! I...

I'm off to the cinema to see 'A very long engagement' in half an hour, apparently it's a very good film, it has subtitles, but that's O.K. I can read.

A very good film it is, recommended.

Right, I'm off down the pub, it's my day off tomorrow.

It's been a bit of an odd day!

The water company had informed us there would be short interruptions to the water supply this week, it was off for nine hours today!
I would've put some in bottles or something if I'd known it was going to be off for that long.
It was actually quite humbling, I couldn't brush my teeth, wash or shave,...

I went to a lecture today
It was a fund raiser for the tsunami victims.
Part of it was about plate tectonics, then diseases that arise in disaster situations.
They reckon the tsunamis power was equal to that of 9,500 Hiroshima atom bombs!

Have a good week.

It's half way through one of the most depressing months of the year, the other being February.
Well I'm actually feeling pretty good, it might be the St. Johns Wort I started taking before Christmas. I often take it in December/January to stave off the winter blues, some years it works, some years it doesn't.

I finally bought myself a scanner for the PC, they...

That was a nasty cold, I'm not over it yet but I'm on the mend now. Just going to have a lazy ultra-chilled weekend, I've got monday off anyway, nice.

A while ago I was saying how I'd like to climb Kilimanjaro, well I've discovered a friend at work who also wants to go!
One step closer to actuality.

Have yourselves a damn good Christmas.

I'm off out for a beer or two, woo hoo.

I wish I had taken my camera to work this morning.
Every day I walk past Bath Abbey, I suppose it's just become part of day to day routine. I see it, but I don't see it.
Anyway, this morning it was all lit up as usual, but there was also a fine fog hanging over it. It looked amazing, like some huge space craft...
