Did it change your mind though?

Reggae/Ska night in a tiny place in Dorchester with some work buddies. Really cool night with plenty of dancing! Might add beer next time!

I got in at 1 this morning…i was driving so zero alcohol consumed but I’m so tired this morning!!! Normally in bed by 10:30!

I’m out tonight…like actually going out with people to a Reggae/Ska night in a sweaty room where dancing is permitted.

It may take a few days to get my head around this early exit from hibernation

Good innit!!!

Lots of dudes on Dartmoor lately???

Sounds like I need a new hobby? Anyone want to buy a tent???

Got 3 more days of seasonal visits and then I’ll have a little time to think about radio nonsense!

Which will be nice!

Feels like penance for having fun.

Maybe sitting in a field and recording the silence may be the only medium not being monetised by wankers…although I’m sure they’ll find a way to ruin that for me too!

Christmas with the Communists???

Wife and children gone skating so I have a morning in Budapest to wander…ALONE!!!

Boxing Day lunch at the swankiest vegan joint in Budapest booked. Might have the cabbage stew ….
That’s actually on the menu and looks lovely and not a stereotypical eastern bloc gag.

Get your arse off the copier right now!!!

TFG has the keys while I’m on a European Christmas Vacation….i have no idea what’s on it, I’m deep in Mulled Wine and Stuffed Cabbage.

Enjoy!!!
