Wandered round Nice, lay on the beach for a bit, bussed it up to the next town, spent half an hour trying to find the beach, found it (was a bit rubbish), bought an orangina, spent an hour trying to get … Continue reading
Even I meme out every now and again.
LJ Interests meme results berlin: I was there for two weeks in 2002 but had the best time of my life. Met a French girl, stayed with her in a recording studio with some Israeli guy, gatecrashed a wedding and … Continue reading
Tuesday night I conscientiously charged up my mp3 player for 7 hours and set the alarm on my phone to wake me up for 7.15am, all in preparation for a day spent traveling. Then I fell asleep listening to the … Continue reading

Been in Lisbon for two days now, mainly going to the brilliant “Barrairo Rocks” garage rock festival. This involves getting a ferry across each evening, watching bands, drinking and partying all night and returning on the first ferry at 5 … Continue reading
Flew into Faro two days ago. Bagged a window seat but all we got to see was fog until we reached Spain. The Algarve from the air was unbelievable. I wish I had taken a photo, but I didn’t want … Continue reading
