The red flags that fly

It's a summery Saturday.

And I'm about to eat cheesy chips.

I'm still awaiting the sudden surge of reinterest (from me I mean) in this blog. It will happen sooner or later. We've had waves of posting here at tobiwan.co.uk and we've ridden the storm.

I didn't mention all the crazy snow time that we had. Snow watch was a good ol' time we had here once upon a time, but without any watchin' we had some serious snow. We went sleddin (kinda) and snowballin on the meadow. Nice.

This week has been rather tirin. Had a gig. Nice. Then we had lacks of sleep. Nice. Can't remember what else there was. Losing momentum. One day I will write proper on my blog. One day I will organise everything. One day.

The letter g was always overrated anyways.

in defiance of all the facts

Well hello my friendss.

I realise that fobbin' you all off with pictures isn't "the done thing" and nor is it "entirely satisfactory". Hell, it's probably not even healthy. Be that as it may, it was nice to have a front page full of pictures. That's my thoughts on the matter anyway.

I've been up to goshloads of things so a quick précis is probably in order. In list format, naturally. Altogether now.. (and in no particular order)

  • Played us a lil ol gig at the Lark. Good times. Family was even in attendance

  • Missed a lot of foop-ball. I'ma rectify that monkey tonite.

  • Went out in London with two groups of friends. In the same nite. If they'd have only been closer together I could have done that classic film plot and kept nipping out to the toilet but really visiting the other group of friends. Alack alas.

  • Work very nicely sent me on a php course. In London. My head a splode

  • Went to visit Inspector Git and Gibbs near the Oval

  • Went to Mardu to visit the Misses' grand-rents.

  • Ate way too much chocolate

  • Gave up alcohol for a week.

  • Had laughs

  • Had times



That's about all I can remember right now. Did you see my correct use of an apostrophe? Just like Elbs told me!. At least I hope it was right. Otherwise there will be egg on my face..

I very much enjoyed spending four days in London. I usually do. I don't think I could work there, but sauntering along the Thames as the sun rises and then chipping off for a sausage and bacon sandwich from a shop just off Fleet Street really puts a skip in your step.

Unfortunately I am now becoming pressed for time as I have to pick up the Hat and the Chalk before zipping down to foop-ball, so I will finish off now by telling you aboot my newest new blog thang. You will recall that I got a loop station for Christmas? No? Allow me to refresh your memory. Well since then I have found recording little loops to be quite relaxing. And I've decided (response not withstanding) to share a few with you now and again. You'll need flash player, but I'll link to the mp3 as well cos I'm nice like that.

So. This little loop here is my anticipation of summer loop. Imagine yourself chilled out with a glass of something nice and cold as the barbecue sizzles and women in not enough clothing pass by. You can play it just the once, or loop it as it was intended to be. Let me know what you think.

PS. If you like the track so much that you decide to download it for your own nefarious purposes, the mp3 link I gave above comes out at much better quality (edit: that's no longer true - they're both good quality now. Hooray!).. Yeah. It's licensed under Creative Commons.
