Black Grape last night in Sheffield. Really enjoyed it. Organic dance fun e hip hop. I say organic because they eschewed trying to sound really close to the records, instead putting as much energy as possible into the performance. Brilliant. Would go again and I think it would be different next time

I had a daily mix a couple of weeks back which basically alternated between 90’s grunge and Brit-rock and 70’s music and I was so weirded out by it that I had to take a photo.

About six months ago I was walking Trixie my pug and got passed by a Google car with camera on the top. Apparently it takes between 3-9 months to upload pictures to street view. And here we are. I note that they haven’t blurred Trixie’s face.

The book that changed me you say? It’s the Island of the Lizard King. The first Fighting Fantasy book I read and the book that launched me on to a lifetime love of gaming and fantasy. Not very high brow, but there we are.

That’s the new shelves in the kitchen finished with Danish Oil. It looks good but bloody hell, three coats of that stuff on such a large area is a long job.

I’ve gone a bit rogue this year. I have a theory that Moyes’ Everton will do will and City will take a while to get going (cue the reverse of those things happening)

Thanks for the inspiration a couple of weeks back. I’ve just made these as the blackberries have just ripened in Yorkshire and they are excellent.

I went to Morecambe yesterday and despite the decay of the Victorian resort, the scenery is still beautiful across Morecambe bay and I saw a chippy called The Chipsy King (Tyson Fury is from there).

It’s fair to say that Extreme rose to the challenge presented by Terrorvision tonight. Great gig all round. Got to slow dance to our wedding song (more than words) and basically all the hits plus a touching tribute to Ozzy at the end.

RIP Ozzy. You lived a life and a half. Thanks for all the music and the laughs and a hell of a day.
