There seems to be loads of birthdays this time of year so I’ll say a big DragonDrop happy birthday y’all. Random acts of note – got microcosmos on DVD and have painted the… Read more →

Eugh. I feel rough today. Aches and pains. Very sore throat. Tonsillitus on top of this lot is not helping. Soluable solpadine and a big ol’ bottle of lucozade is helping though (thanks Eirene x).

A light (disappointing) sprinkle of snow was on the ground this morning. The boys got all excited. I can’t remember the last time we had a proper dump of snow round these parts. Not like when I was a lad (by eck) when we lived up in’t Dales and we’d get a foot of snow… sometimes 2 foot and upwards…. Read more →

The Haggis Horns down at The Late Lounge last night were Awesome. Great set up – brass lead 7 piece, backed up by a great rhythm section. The percussionist had a very desirable rig! Congas, cow bells, timbale, symbols and hitty things.. looked great fun. Heavy weight, super tight, mainly home grown (as far as I could tell) funk central…. Read more →
