Going places

Well Bangor was fun, even if I just turned up with no idea what was going on; much to the amusment of those that organised it.  We were infact putting on an informal concert, which was a bit of a push... I had to mime a couple of the songs.  Recordings are available.  Work has been busy, though things will be coming to a close at the end of the year, so I'm considering taking a month off and then look for the next contract; unless I get offered another one before then like last time.  A couple of weeks after Bangor I was off to Leeds for the weekend, National Rev Forum & social.  I had an amazing time, Leeds is quite a nice looking city, and the university campus struck me as being very Keele-like despite being in the middle of a city.  Many of the buildings looked so similar, made me pine for my hilltop home.

As it happens, I am writing this at the airport again, so much to do, work, doing recording stuff for rev, taken up playing badminton again as the season has now started on the IoM.  There is some scruffy old guy that looks almost homeless sat not very far away.  I say almost because he's got quite a large laptop with him and it playing some strategy game on it, with the volume right up, I can hear the "yes sir's", "changing location" and all the screaming battle noise.  Grrr I want to stand up and shout, "YOU KNOW THERE'S THIS MAGIC INVENTION CALLED HEADPHONES THAT PREVENT YOU FROM BEING AN INCONSIDERATE PRAT!", however I can't bring myself to be so impolite.

I'm on tour this time, got myself a very nice and rather pricey new audio recorder to record songs at the rev regional weekends away for a christmas CD.  Well there's the departure call, time to go.  Aberdeen here I come!
