3 days to go

oh boy it's only 3 more work days to go, and they will be spent in a training course in warwick so in fact, you could say today is my last real work day before my holiday - wahey!

so saturday evening I fly off to the delights of Rome for the best part of a week, to take in some culture, museums, churches and hopefully eat lots of pizza and pasta. mmm.

last night I went to see David Gray in Birmingham, he was suitably gorgeous and talented, and more than a little head-wobbly, bless him. the venue (the academy) wasn't too good for his type of concert. I really like it, (it's small, sticky floored and got a good intimate atmosphere), but having seen him at the NEC he was better in a bigger location, as you could get a decent view and his music isn't really the type you'll feel the need to groove to - so being able to see him was more important than space to dance. It didn't help that Emma was getting really wound up by the couple in front, as she was only able to see him through the gap between them, but they insisted on snogging every few minutes, or swaying together in time to the music. We ended up moving before they started getting even more intimate as we were fearful Emma might crack and headbut them! Having said that, he was amazing, his voice is so clear and I really enjoyed it.


and now I'm off home, hopefully via tim's to shamefully return his radio and to hopefully cadge a bit of tea - or at least a cuppa.
