Wow, 2010 is almost done! Its getting cold and my friends in the North are reporting epic snowfall.

Rodrigo y Gabriela

I was lucky enough to get tickets to see the first of their 5 London shows, I’m still amazed by their extraordinary skill and the sound they can create from just two acoustic guitars.

Holiday!

I took a quick break and managed to visit 3 countries over a few days (Gibraltar, Spain and Morocco). I enjoyed good weather, good people, good food and some new experiences all the while cursing my terrible language skills.

Christmas

If the Trainline have managed to sort out my tickets, I’ll be going home to Durham for almost 2 weeks. I’m really looking forward to it, as well as catching up with my family and walking the dogs every day; I’m couriering my bike up so I can rip up the trails that I rode as a kid.

Christmas

I am by no means a religious person, but the commercialisation of Christmas freaks me out. I have a low tolerance to real world shopping as it is, but the streets and shopping centres are just unbearable at this time of year. Not to mention the terrifying the amount of money people seem willing to part with during the festive period as advertising persuades them to buy everything from new clothing to sofas and cars on top of presents and food.
