Is it meant to be autumn now? It didn't feel like autumn at the weekend. But then summer didn't feel like summer. The weather was perfect. Good enough for me to get shots as good as this:I spent sunday...

As the title of the blog suggests, this isn't going to all be about photography. Music is probably a bigger part of my life, and as the weather turns and the light's not so good, I doubt there will be...

They don't tell you what a Murmuration is on the Wikipedia Page about Starlings. And while problems with starlings in Rome have been mentioned on the BBC, they don't use the word Murmuration either. So...
View ArticleThat which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
I think I'm in love. At my age, I shouldn't be falling for pop stars, but, well...It's probably best to start at the beginning. I've always quite liked Retro Pop. It's probably Saint Etienne's fault....

So, we made it. For the next six months, the days get longer every day. We've passed the solstice which means no more sunsets at a quarter to four again for the next year.Unsurprisingly, the event is...

So, it's been about two months since I last pulled a mix out of the bag. That one was very New Rave / Electro. This new one very much isn't. It will still have an air of familiarity to anyone who tunes...

In a moment of folly, I appear to have talked myself into a corner.I fancied a pint at the weekend, and called a friend who told me that he was detoxing. I wasn't having any of it. This time of year...

Right now, I should have been playing squash, as mentioned in my last blog. And I did want to be playing squash. My racquet, squash balls, and suitably sporty clothing are sitting beside me on the...

I was out Moonlighting again last night. It's a full moon tomorrow, and yesterday was perfectly cloudless. Well, it was when the fog wasn't rolling by. And when there was fog, it was thick thick fog...

So, I played squash yesterday morning, finally, after rearranging from last week.First off, I lost. There. I said it. I wasn't completely rubbish, but I was let down by my return of serve. But I...

Firstly, a big meh at the fact I haven't played squash since the other week. I haven't been getting out of work at a reasonable time in the week, and the weekends haven't brought the opportunity to...
View ArticleRemastered CDs (or, Am I a sucker?)
Music is a really important part of my life. I listen to music as often as I can. I buy a lot of new music, and I also try and discover a lot of old music. What I don't really do is buy the same music...
