It’s been a very long week and I’m off to bed shortly. Fairly early for myself, I want to be asleep by 11 if possible. It’s also been an excellent week.

I’ll go off onto a tangent here for a second, I really don’t like this new blogger. I don’t remember what I last posted about or if I’m about to go and cover something I already did. I use to be able to just look down and see the past few posts, now I cannot. It has also gone and broken my permalinks and the new comments don’t work. This could well be the push that I need to use something else.

So to recap a few things quickly

– Conference in Dublin was excellent. We’ve come out of it with massive steps forward in relationships with other countries. This is a very good thing.
– Dublin in general was excellent. I had a number of good nights out, one of them spoiled by a minor case of food posioning, but still a good night with good company.
– Had a good weekend with my Dad this weekend. We got some tickets to the Queen musical; We Will Rock You. We had wanted to see, but was listed as sold out or way too expensive (£110 for 2 tickets) from a booth in Lecister Square for £50 for 2. It was excellent. I didn’t enjoy the first 10 minutes but when it really got going it was excellent. It’s started off a big theatre going kick too. I’ve got two plays booked for this week including Oleana which I’ve been wanting to see for a while now.
– Ate out alot over the past week, the best probably being Belgos in Chalk Farm last night. Good food, good beer and good service. Done a hell of a lot of walking it seems, nothing major but lots and lots of locally coming and going.
– Booked myself a ticket for the London Fleadh next month too. Dylan is the headliner and while I think he has lost it alot in later years, I still have to go and see him. It’s just a day, in Finsbury Park and comes in nicely after the Chilli Peppers. That makes 2 festivals, 2 all day music events and 2 gigs next month. Damn it’s gonna be a good one.
– Work took a major turn for the better on Friday and I actually have a goal now and something that I hope to motivate myself to nicely. Shall see as the week goes along.
– Alot of catch up watching this weekend too. Angel doesn’t seem to be building up to all that much which is a shame but The Shield is having a great season and 24 has really picked up.
– Bristol is now all sorted, the hotel is booked. Tho I should not have drunken conversations with people about who is doing what. Still, all sorted in the end. Looking forward to it a good bit now.
– Not quite making my 11pm bedtime tonight but close enough I guess.

As the mood strikes me over the new few days I’ll go into more detail.
