I’ve not updated my BLOG for ages. I would say I’ve been busy but that would be bollocks. I just got out of the habit of updating it.
It’s been another year of highs and lows and peaks and troughs. I just count my blessings and keep on plodding along. In many ways I’m lucky. Despite redundancy offers I’m still in work and I’ve still got a roof over my head (mainly thanks to the roofer who sorted out my damaged slates this morning). I know a lot of people haven’t been so lucky and my thoughts are with them.
I’ve not been to many gigs so far this year as there haven’t been many I wanted to see. I went to Noel Gallagher a couple of months back where he proved beyond doubt that he is far more talented than his knob-head brother. I also went to the Stone Roses reunion gig at Heaton Park. I loved the Stone Roses when I was a teen so it was a very special night that brought back some great memories. It was dry the night we went so my specially purchased cool as fuck US Army surplus Poncho wasn’t needed!
There has been a lot of bad publicity in relation to the London Olympics over the last couple of weeks. The G4S security cock up, the thousands of tickets that have suddenly come on sale for the “sold out” events and the traffic / public transport problems in London are all genuine areas of concern. Despite all this I’m really looking forward to the Olympics. I admit I’m biased as I managed to get a ticket for the athletics but even if I wasn’t going I would still be excited about the games starting. I’ve loved watching the Olympics on the television since being a child. I think it’s great they are being held in Britain. I’m sure once it all gets going the media and public will be much more enthusiastic.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that at some point we will get something resembling a summer but I’m not holding my breath. They do say the Jet Stream is slowly starting to move north so we might get a bit of sunshine. I don’t know if it’s because of climate change or just part of the normal cycle of weather patterns but either way the seasons just seem to be totally screwed up.
That’s all for now but I will try and get back in the habit of updating regularly.
