Just lying here in my new bed, which is in my new bedroom which is in my new house, which is on a new street. Golly, everything around me right now is new. For a little while at least, as we are slowly introducing all our old (and trusted) belongings back into our new home. One thing hasn’t changed though, and that is me. Images to follow at some point.

This is what we did today. Dates are really this fun.

So as I lay here in bed writing this on my phone (using the new WP app) I can’t help but grow with excitment at this next week. Much like I did when I first moved here I am starting to feel the buzz you get when you have a new toy to play with.

This time next week we will be one day off moving to our new apartment. I use the word new as that is just what it is. Everything, including the dishwasher (yes there is a dishwasher) and carpet will have never been touched. I feel lucky as I have never been one to really like having seconds.

While moving I will be “unplugged” as Ren puts it and I’m kind of looking forward to that. So yeah, saying good bye to our 3 floor end terrace, saying hello to our 1 floor apartment. Crazy.

So on Wednesday night just before bed Heather decided to slice almost the whole of the Thumb tip off. Luckily it didn’t go all the way through or else she would of had odd thumbs for the rest of her life.

We went to hospital to and waited for two hours (as did everyone else) before giving up on the National Health Service all together. I took her home and fixed it up good and proper with the donated bandages my Mum gave us.

She is all better nearly.

We have just got back from our little trip to Berlin. Here are a few snaps from various days out. There are a couple on my phone which I will put up later when I write about the trip on a whole. Enjoy these in the mean time.

Was in Morrisons the other day and spotted this. Wish I had a garden now.

Back from Glastonbury now all sun kissed and tired. Thought I would post this video which was the highlight of the weekend really. After watching this follow the link below and watch his set, even if you don’t like Hip Hop or even if you just don’t like Jay Z. This was amazing.

For all the people who truely appreciate all kinds of music and appreciate the hard work and extreme skill that goes into a masterfully mixed bunch of song this is for you.

I just want to give people the chance to listen to some of the greatest mixes I have ever heard, so this will act as a list of my top listens for everyone.

Here goes:

As Heard on Radio Soulwax Vol.2

Made by the masters of mix Too Many DJs and one of the first truly genius mixes I heard. A great place to start as this is rammed full of crowd pleasers. There are plenty more of these kicking around. I recommend looking for them as they a truly awesome.

Osymyso – Intro Inspection

This is one is pure genius and takes mixes on from a new angle. Using only the intros to some of the best know pop songs of recent years.

Girl Talk – Feed the animals

Only really discovered these the other day when I read about how they realised this album in the same way as Radiohead did with In Rainbows. This mix is stunning. Mainly hip hop mixed with all sorts of familiar stuff but still incredible.

FABRICLIVE26: The Herbaliser

Although I linked to one in particular any Fabriclive will do… These are some general all round awesome collections of music. The mixing skills are not always that brilliant but the collection of music is.

This is it for now… They should have you listening for a long while yet. If you have any that I should know of then let me know.

Peace.

So tonight after work me and Heather went to get some food and bedding for Gizmo. After this we decided to grab some tea from somewhere. We eat out on a regular basis and have our preferences, but we like to try out new places. Tonight we decided to visit this new place called Mex in the city centre. We like mexican food, its always tasty and nice for a bit of a change. When we got to Mex we were seated and ordered some drinks. The drinks came fine but then they forgot about us and didn’t bother to come back and see if we wanted any food. 30 minutes later the annoyance sets in and we decided just leave. I said we shouldn’t pay for the drinks (which we hardly touched) but Heather being the sensible one insisted. We left unhappy and disgruntled.

Insert going home due the massive argument which ensued after the Mex paying incident

After solving the argument we decided to go to this amazing place called Hitchcocks. Let me give you a little background to this place so you can understand how it all ties in nicely. Basically you have to book before you go and the first people to book that night get to choose what the menu is. It can be any style of cuisine. Any at all. So I ring up at 7.30 and book a table for that night, only to find that tonight’s food is MEXICAN. Wow. It was meant to be. Anyway its all you can eat and you have three courses of pure vegetarian goodness. Its a great place to eat, all homemade food and full of tasty flavours. Recommended for anyone, meat eaters and the lot.

So people in the area, give them a call and get yo’ asses down to feed your face on real food (minus the meat).

The End.

If your sad enough to warrant saving this ‘ere site onto your Springboard (name for the desktop area on your iPhone/iTouch) then you now get some sexy Fourleaves icon. Pictures to follow.
