Got back from Bloodstock Open Air Sunday morning – had such a good time. Got to see Firewind, Testament, Dark Tranquility, Freedom Call, Korpiklaani, Epica, a bit of Lacuna Coil, Finntroll, DreamEvil and Sabbat. Of all of those, Dark Tranquility was definately the best – I have been wanting to see them for ages and they put on a great show!
Also got to meet loads of new people which was great 
It ran for 3 days (Thursday – Saturday) with bands playing until 23:30. Saw 2 – 4 bands a day and spent hte rest of my time hanging out with people and drinking ale (My mates I was camping with and I got 72 pints of hobgoblin between us ).
Only bad time was a hangover that had the effects of food poisoning, although I’m convinced it was partly due to a dodgy cheeseburger lol.
Job hunting August 5, 2007

is the plan for tomorrow – go into town and find some bar work for a few days (hopefully I won’t need a CV for this ) to supplement my few days a week gardening. Hopefully if I do get some it will make me financially cosy and I won’t have to worry about what I spend on holiday 
Didn’t get up to much this weekend, went through some lessons in a guitar magazine I had lying around (Ive got about 5 I’ve barely looked at) which had some good exercises. One has a Racer X song I want to go through called ‘Technical Difficulties‘ which will be good. Spent alot of time this weekend learning the intro to ‘Green Tinted Sixties Mind‘ by Mr big – great tune.
Watching top gear winter olympics atm and battlestar gallactica season 3 (which is brilliant!).
Laters !
Trimming hedge August 2, 2007

Been doing some part time gardening for two days a week for three weeks, in the second week of it now. The grounds Im working on are huge (Can’t remember if Ive mentioned this before or not), and it too all day today to cut back the hedge that is around the bottom of the garden.
Been driving to work these couple of weeks, and yesterday the window fell off the thingy it sits on. Was fun driving down the motorway at 70 with the window right down lol ! My Dad came round in the evening and we dismantled the car door and fixed it
Remembered a lick I came up with a while ago today, so I intend to write a song around it over the weekend. Watch this space !
