Hello again. Another spell sans post so to speak, but I've been distracted and a bit busy. For a very welcome change some things have actually been getting sorted out. Could be better, could be a whole lot worse, which I'm happy to settle for at the moment. I'd like to have been out and about more as well, but barring a trip back home and a bike ( Read more... )

I've been neglecting this lately, not that I've had much to put in mind ( Read more... )

I absolutely *love* this song. Excellent band, I'd kill to see this live again.

It looks pretty heavy too, the Space Needle isn't that far away and you can't even see it. A pleasant bonus to my last night. I doubt I'm going to get stuck here, but the idea of it is pleasant.

Well that's 2008 gone, and good riddance, I couldn't see it far enough. New Year's Eve itself was an absolute hoot, and a very different one from what I was expecting. I'd a great night out ( Read more... )

And another one I'll be glad to see the back of, not that it was as shite as 2007 was, but it brought it's own pain with it nonetheless. I'd a good wander round Seattle earlier and got lost in my own thoughts with the head somewhat clearer than it was when I left Gatwick what seems like weeks ago. Last year I wandered round the same city streets, ( Read more... )

I'm now well into the Xmas break, and so far so good. Las Vegas was an experience, but I'm now back up in Seattle and things are a bit quieter on it. That suits me just fine. The flight up gave some spectacular views, crossing the strip not far north of Caesar's only a couple of minutes after leaving McCarran, and a while later on the most amazing ( Read more... )

Like most riders, I know that sooner or later I'll come off properly, crash number two happened this morning after finding the road caked in ice. I felt the grip going and tried to stay upright, to my credit I did ok for a few seconds before the front wheel disappeared. I ended up quite a distance from where my poor little GS ended up. Some nice ( Read more... )

Well a lot of water has gone under the bridge since I was last on here. Not a great deal of it has been good. I'd thought about boring people witless with a string of edits about the rest of the Toronto trip, but other things overtook.

The Toronto trip was thoroughly fucking ace! Rush on home ground was amazing, the Black Crowes grooved and Plant ( Read more... )

There is one impressive storm passing overhead at the moment, the rain has pelted against the window and there has been a load of lightning along with it. A thick gray haze has descended over Toronto, but the smell of the air is amazing. There is little sign of it letting up, but when it does the air will be so clean. I'm taking a long walk round ( Read more... )
