Getting There...

It has been 1 month and 5 days since our offer was accepted on the new house. It appears that everything is nearly complete, and we now need to start looking at dates, assuming our buyer has everything in order: the solicitor is just checking that. It is Easter next weekend: could we really have packed, sorted everything and moved by then? It would be good...

Polar Bears....

Snow Patrol last Wednesday (11th March) ... spent too much of the show thinking about work. But the songs that stood out where the last few: the last of the main set was superb (Open Your Eyes?), with the band playing in front of a projection of the tops of buildings as someone travelled through an indeterminate city...

And the first three of the encore were fantastic: the last songs on the "A Hundred Million Suns" album collectively named The Lightning Strike. The first the band played behind a massive sheet with a psychedelic display which continued behind the band after the sheet had dropped and the music continued...

I love seeing live music, but throw in some excellent visuals, and I'm really happy...
