Its not really the clearest picture eh? Taken on Sunday at The Raconteurs gig. The red blobs are the biomes lit up. Unlike the picture, The Raconteurs were probably the best band I've ever seen live (however, its a fairly limited sample... Amy Winehouse (drunk), David Bowie (going through a strange period) and other less well known groups).


We've had Sharon and Susan down from Scotland this week staying. Unfortunately, the weather is fairly dreich today.. so I'm writing this hoping that they took a waterproof with them on their tour today. We're supposed to be heading to Mark and Siobhan's for a BBQ later.. but I'm guessing it might have to be an indoors!


Tomorrow Mum arrives.. which has worked out perfectly for me. Craig has decided to join Mark, Siobhan, Ricky and Lynn to go the Jack Johnson gig at Watergate Bay in Newquay. I'm so glad I have an excuse to not go. I think I'd rather stick hot needles in my eyes than listen to his Sade-esque pop drivvel.


Craig has downloaded a load of his music onto our iTunes which means when I synchronised my iPod its all on there. I went for a run yesterday and had to stop every two minutes to turn it off! What crap... and definitely not made for getting you up those hills... but coming to think of it... with Mum and Craig having similar tastes (do you remember the two of them sitting watching the 'Rise of the Silver Surfer' at Christmas as everyone else fled..?), you might like it mum. I'll let you hear some of it when you're down (as I sit in another room..!).


So Happy Birthday to Gary for tomorrow. Hope you have a great day. Unfortunately, I don't have any embarrassing photo's of you Gary. I think largely because you haven't really had a fat stage (lucky you!) and by having a skin head you've avoided years of embarrassing changes of hairstyle! Hooray!
