Tedious Tuesday

Not much happening today - all quiet. Is it the lull before the storm?

I've sent Lucy the Eastenders DVD from 28th December - hope it works OK - if not, I'm stymied.

Hoping to have a quick beer with Nigel on the way home from work, before he heads back to the Gulf tomorrow. It's his 50th next week. In fact, it's amazing how many of our sporting group are having big birthdays this year - apart from me, there are no fewer than 2 other 60's; five 50's; and one 70 (Syd) - quite a year!

Getting all set for our trip to Liverpool on Monday to watch the Merseyside derby match. The following evening it's the Carling Cup semi-final second leg at Old Trafford, with Derby leading 1-0 from the first leg. Harry is a Derby fan and I've managed to get the MUFC tickets for that match as well, so it rather looks like I will be staying down in the Merseyside area for 2 nights now.

I've downloaded a few albums recently - Bon Iver, Black Keys, The Fireman (McCartney), Soweto Gospel Choir (for Jo - we saw them at the Fringe) and, most recently, from 1964 Tom Paxton - Ramblin' Boy - I think Jo will like this one - this was as near as she ever got to being a fan of anyone.

Today's international photo comes from our trip to Boston in 2005:
