  • Catch-Up: Concerts

    Yes, it's true, I'm bad at blogging. But as we all know, weblogs suck anyway. Regardless: here's the long-awaited catchup of my whereabouts and doings of the last week (as all I'd previously said is that I'd left and that I'd got back again.

    Claire and I went to Preston a week last Thursday evening, for …

  • Naruto Night II

    Tonight at 8, if anybody's interested. "Future Boy" and "Ghiblies" are on the cards, as is "Naruto" if either (a) Paul brings some, (b) Not-Gay Gareth brings some, or (c) I acquire some by then. See you later!

  • Claire’s Birthday, and Preston

    Well, Claire and I are in Preston. We travelled up here last night (after a few false starts, including getting to Mach before realising we'd left the Green Day tickets blu-tacked to the wall "so we don't forget them" in Aber and having to turn back). Claire's been made out to be a bookworm again, …

    Fun. Cool. Saucy. Axe Feather.

    This was fun even before I realised that tickling her in different places when she was in different positions had different effects.
