Lunchtime jog; open spaces, gentle sunshine, fluffy clouds, brisk breeze. Lemon Jelly & happy tunes. Positivity recharged, faith restored:-)

Another great F1 race for Monaco GP today. Jenson was robbed.
Finally got round to upgrading the family laptop to Ubuntu 11.04, and am liking the Unity desktop UI…….

Ben Howard on stage. Never have I seen three people with more talent & humility. Breathtaking. Properly, properly good. http://t.co/rOz9c6J
This morning was definitely the best F1 race for a long time. Superb :-)

Just stumbled across the BBC iPlayer app for the iPad. An obvious, but great idea :-)
Missed out on Imelda May live last night due to poorly wife. Bah. :-(
I feel like I spend an unreasonable amount of time waiting for downloads to finish. (and it doesn’t help that Dell www servers are *slow*)

Album of the year = “Only Revolutions” by Biffy Clyro, with “Sigh No More” from Mumford & Sons a close second.
(Concept) car of the year = Jaguar c-x75 -> http://www.jaguar.com/gl/en/about_jaguar/c-x75/
Porsche 918 Spyder a good second.
Just watched Dirk Gently. Not quite the book, but a good effort. God bless you, Douglas Adams.
It’s been snowing for at least 3 hours. Luckily it’s Saturday, so we can just relax in front of the fire :-) http://yfrog.com/h4r98jj
Ever so slightly hung over. Malt Whisky always seems like a good idea at the time…….
Amazing food. Not cheap, but highly recommended. (@ Itihaas) http://4sq.com/9WSOby

Had a sit in this rather lovely Evora today. http://yfrog.com/gy47810089j
Just got back from a sanity-preserving jog in local woodland. Pleased to say that there is still some perfect winter wonderland out there.
Splash & Dash = 400m swim, 5km run this morning; 43m 44s in icy conditions. Not bad, but room for improvement……. :-)
Did the school run using a sledge this morning. :-)

Today I am mostly listening to Biffy Clyro and Mumford & Sons. Both absolutely brilliant.
Realised that what is missing from my afternoon is music. Just launched into first listen to Kings of Leon’s latest album.

Cheeky pint after work with the boys. In the bar before 5pm - feels weird to be drinking beer this early; it’s been a while :-)
Loving that Jonny Ive is pitching the new MacBook Air to a soundtrack by Elbow. :-)
Ahh. Back home after a few days away at work. Tea never tastes quite as good as when brewed in your own kitchen and supped on your own sofa.
Making dinner, listening to The Joshua Tree. Still an amazing record.
