My Summer Mist

iPod nano

I have two iPods. An iPod Photo which I've had for about two and a half years and a silver Shuffle which I got pretty much on the day of release last November. I love them both for different reasons. The 45 Gig Photo means I can take loads and lo...

Posterino Life Poster

Summer Mist 2007

Yes I know. I thought this blog might be dead too, but I'm attempting to have another go before it completely disappears through lack of content. My biggest obsession at the moment is quite a surprise. Not at all techy, although that may change. ...

I've had some truly great things happen in that time too. I took photos to prove it, but I didn't get around to actual blogging. We went to see Frank Sidebottom and he was fantastic. Last time we...

IOW Fest

Last year I found out that the Foo Fighters were playing the IOW Festival. As soon as I discovered this I was desperate to contact my gig-buddy to see if he'd like to accompany me. On checking the dates on the website I discovered that it was the...

Headlights

We've been driving a lot in the last two days. Yesterday we left home at 2.30pm and arrived in Manchester at 9.30pm after horrendous holdups quite close to home. Roadworks and sheer volume of Friday evening traffic, the culprits. This morning we...
