About Me

Elsewhere on the world wide interblog, folk have been keeping a daily diary of what they've been up to. Here's mine so far. 25th Dec Christmas Eve was a late starter due to our attendance at a friend'...

There’s a first.

*That* list

Things sound better on vinyl

A few beers, a few chats, and we find ourselves back at Kirk Central chatting with friends over G&T's and listening to iTunes. I am drawn to the record deck in the living room, and after a few run...
