Admittedly it does feel a little odd to be sober after waking up on a Saturday. Though it ain’t morning. its 13:30. Afternoon. I didn’t have one drop of alcohol yesterday and when I got home I watched 5 episodes of the amazing and truely addictive Heros. Last night I was at the Island Arts [...]

What craziness. An awesomely fun-filled birthday weekend that was. Saturday night was spent in Lavery’s Bunker enjoying the music as part of the Curfew Festival which ran from Friday until Sunday. It was after this that the fun really started. Having slept on a friend’s sofa, I awoke and left the house at 6:30am. On [...]

Definitely not Northern Ireland. Of course [...]

These posts are becoming so few and far between, and to make matters worse all I want to write about is something that happened 2 weeks ago. Damn camera destroying my long run of great blog posts (shussh, I think so anyway!). So as usual – I’m quite happy, its just a running theme at [...]

Each day of the past week has been a joy. Great weather and taking part in enjoyable activities with the best people. I have also taken an average of 300 photographs a day, and had very little chance to even look at many. From gigs to exhibitions, waterfront walks to late-night construction workers even a [...]

I don’t like TV, but I’ll tell ya one thing – Ben really doesn’t like TV!! He went nuts. Like a mad man. Rock ‘n’ Roll

I’m still here! – You can’t shut me down! Microsoft threatens Mac! (via Lex Ferenda) Something old that I rediscovered. Duane Keiser paints a postcard-sized picture everyday and posts it on his blog, A Painting a Day. Each picture has a link to the relevant Ebay listing page and bidding starts at $100. The average [...]
