Another festival fades away

We’re getting to old for this. A day of cycling followed by a chinese – great that we can justify it after the cycling πŸ™‚ – followed by getting a taxi into town at quarter to eleven! Nearly didn’t go because we were both a bit bushed. Was well worth…

Electricity Usage

Hmmmm, we’ve been pondering our electricity usage since we appear to have used a vast proportion more units per day average over the past quarter than in any previous quarter. Is our meter on the blink or have we genuinely been overdoing it? We are talking of a 4 fold…

Karen Dunbar

Dunno, she was funny but not as funny as I had hoped. Maybe because she didn’t do many of her characters from Chewin’ the Fat – of which I’m a fan. Maybe we’ve been spoilt by all the great international comedy available that when it comes to one of our…

That's no moon, its a space station!

One-man Star Wars Trilogy does exactly what it says on the tin. Charlie Ross whizzes through the original 3 Star Wars movies in about an hour. A must for Star Wars fans as you will marvel out how he can bring such a vast cast of characters, vehicles, droids, aliens,…

Go you big red fire engine

Korean Streetdance

Broadening my horizons yet again with the fusion of traditional Korean dancing and some stunningly acrobatic, gymnastic dancing from Myosung. A troop of about 20 performers did dances like sketches in a fast paced TV comedy show – one minute there would be 4 hip hopping street performers spinning on…
