Peter Hook & The Light
Having had to take a couple of days sick leave this week due to Aggressive Stage Four Man Cold I was a bit worried I wouldn’t make it to see Peter Hook at The Opera House last night, however with a combination of Big Boy Pants and Nuromol I managed to get out to see…
Spud You Like
The Duchess was up for a jacket potato for dinner yesterday but stipulated she didn’t want too large a potato. To ensure we got the portion size correct I did her a line-up to select the perfect size. This worked, though she did spend the evening snacking so I suspect she chose unwisely (Indiana Jones…

Beat Street Drummers
