Where is the year going? A difficult six months. First off the election. Tories back in, on their own. Who would have thought that? And then there is my wife's redundancy. End of September so not long to go.
Music wise, saw Placebo. They were good but too much from their latest album which isn't my favourite.
I have a new puppy, I missed my last dog too much and eventually gave in to the wife and daughter. Another Patterdale but a black and tan one who isn't as vicious as his predecessor.
Work wise it's tedious, I am hanging around for redundancy now.
I ran the Prague Marathon in May in 5:15 but made good friends with a guy who lives near me who was running as well. I did Gateshead 10k last Sunday in a very disappointing 60:54, over
3 minutes slower than 2013.
Football wise I didn't see Posh at all last season will do better this season coming.
I'll also try and post some more

First Aid Kit
Hello and a belated Happy New Year.
After a pretty barren 2014 music wise I have decided that this year I will go to a few gigs.Last night,accompanied by my daughter I saw First Aid Kit at Newcastle City Hall.
It was an excellent gig, good venue for the vocal harmony soft country rock they play.The light show was impressive.Support was from Kimberley Anne who wad good in a Joan Armatrading, Tracy Chapman way. The audience was a mix of young bearded hipsters, old uns like me and young professionals.What you'd expect really.
They played their cover of Simon and Garfunkel's America and my own favourite, their own song Emmy Lou.
All in all I had a great time. No new ground was being broken but to hear good honest well played and sung music is always a joy. Next up for me ,unless something else catches my eye, is Placebo at O2 Academy
