I went to see Throwing Muses on Wednesday night in Brighton, with a couple of fellas, and the music was great; we saw a bit of Tanya Donelly supporting, and she was on stage again later with Kristin Hersh for a spooky rendition of 'You Cage', which was great. I need to listen to more Muses (not Muse!), I reckon.
That's the beauty of live music, isn't it? You can get enveloped by the loudness of it and transported by the immediacy.
Two more gigs at least for me this year; Cud at the end of October and Carter USM in November. Bring it on.

Sunday 14-09-14 An Impromptu Barbecue
We were at home today and we got a text message inviting us to an afternoon bbq starting at 15:30. I don't think that the invitation mentioned '15:30' precisely, the invitation probably mentioned half past three, but I took it as 15:30.
I wasn't intending on snooping but I couldn't help but notice that other guests arrived at 15:25. So I quickly phoned TW and told her to get her skates on. We arrived en masse and started drinking (my head hurts this morning) but it was a lovely day and evening, a lot of merriment was had.

Saturday 14-09-13 - Laid Low by a Headache
So yesterday was a strange day. TW went to work early in the morning, and so I was left in charge of the girls. I was not doing much, upstairs and down, when I realised that my vision was not great. It was like I had masses of sunspots, or big sunspots, in my vision.
I was feeling okay though, so I carried on with what I was doing (the washing up, mostly). It was only after about 30 or 40 minutes that I started to get a hideous headache. We hadn't planned to do much in the morning anyway, so I let the girls veg out in front of the telly and I had a bath and put the washing on. When TW got home, we had lunch (she was due home shortly after 11, but only got home at 12:30, just after the youngest had had a creme caramel...) and then she took the girls out for the afternoon.
That was about 2pm, I went to bed and slept until 5pm, so I must have been ill... Never mind.
The evening was a bit of a non-event, the girls stayed up past 8pm watching the final of 'Tumble', another one of those shows where 'celebrities' attempt something they're not very good at. And it wasn't even as though the best gymnasts won, instead they gave the 'winner' award to the injured contestant. Some sort of sympathy vote going on, I think.
Anyway, that was my Saturday, I'm not sure what Sunday will bring, but it looks like the Winx Club is already here, thanks to the girls, let's see what else happens along.
TTFN.
