Second Thoughts on Keane's new album

OK, maybe I was hasty... just been listening to the album again, and this time, very unexpectedly, another song just started grabbing me, 'Nothing in my Way'. Marvellous, from nowhere, it grabs you, with close to the brilliance of some of the songs on the first album!

My first go at cricket in about 3 years

I went out and chucked a few balls at Rosspo in the nets today, it was great fun, and it seemed my accuracy was not as bad as I feared it might be!

Wonder how the shoulder it going to feel tomorrow.

So, I got Keane's new album yesterday

Just had a chance to listen to it today, and I have to say, despite a couple of good songs on it, it is nowhere near as good as their last one... hope we haven't had the best from them already, they have so much potential!!!

Wow, what a weekend we had!

It was our second anniversary last week, so this weekend, we finally went on a celebration weekend, that we had been planning for a long time. We headed up to Stratford Upon Avon, went in a rowing boat, had tea in some tea rooms, saw the birthplace of Shakespeare, stayed in a posh hotel... and to top it all off, we saw Anthony and Cleopatra at the Swan Theatre, starring Patrick Stewart!!!

It was the funniest, best acted Shakespeare I have ever seen, and while they are doing all the plays, I highly recommend going to see one! I ate rabbit for starters at the hotel, then a fine piece of Scottish ribeye steak.

Today, we followed on with excellent plans, and went to Warwick Castle on the way home. They had a working Trebuchet there!!!

Some pics of the whole weekend...
