There aren't that many radio programmes that I make space in my week to listen to, to the point where if I can't listen to them at the time, I'll download them, either via podcast or (if not available) via some other method, usually a torrent.

Either way, if I do that, I'll dump them on CD and listen to them later, in the car.

Obvious choices are ( Read more... )

And so it was Friday, my last day in Edinburgh.

Hadn't planned anything festival-related today - figured if I had time, I might see something, but I wanted to just enjoy the atmosphere of still being there if that makes any kind of sense. Yeah, I know, it probably doesn't.

Slept very well (again, I suspect the effects of the amount of walking I've ( Read more... )

Another day with lots of walking around yesterday - I guess that despite being painkillered up to the eyebrows, that's quite healthy for me. Certainly I've lost just a tad more weight, so the belt has come in one more notch.

Didn't have much planned in terms of gigs on Thursday, but those I did fancy seeing seem to either have been sold out or the ( Read more... )

I will be back in about six hours.

Slept fairly late on Wednesday - no particular reason, probably just catch up from the previous few nights, combined with a late night Tuesday. Could also have had something to do with the amount of walking I did on Tuesday, something I repeated on Wednesday, but much moreso.

The two main gigs I'd come to Edinburgh to see were planned for today.

Got to bed late on Tuesday following an evening spent with Clara and Mitch.

Hadn't planned much for yesterday evening, but they shanghaied me into a brief tour of Edinburgh, followed by dinner and then going to see Andy Salzman's Political Animal gig at The Stand. Very funny man. I've heard his material for years, on The Now Show and The Bugle ( Read more... )

Haven't posted here in a couple of months, and not regularly since February.

I'm still wondering whether or not to recommence blogging, and if so, what to write.

However, at the moment, my primary concern is getting ready to leave London. No, I'm not in fear of what's been going on the past few nights in London, the rioting, looting, etc., although ( Read more... )
