The Big Blog

Just watching Blur playing at the Glastonbury festival and it just occured to me that it was almost 10 years ago that I saw them play at the Brighton Centre in December 1999. That was my first year at Uni and they were playing their ?Singles Tour? where they played every one of their 23 [...]

I haven?t really got anything to blog about at the moment, well, anything interesting to blog about, so I won?t. If you are around Thanet this weekend then can I point you in the direction of Margate?s Big Weekend,?Kent’s Leading Air and Land Festival?.
This is another event I usually miss out on but I will [...]

I got back today from a weekend in London and have to say say that I had a great time. I?ve been looking forward to the weekend as I haven?t been out in a while having tried to stay in so that I had some money to go out with, and although I?m even more [...]

Until yesterday my only experience of sushi was from the little chilled packs that are available from the chiller sections in supermarkets, but that changed with a visit to Yoshi in Canterbury.

After a bit of self-reflection last week I decided that I needed make the extra effort to be nicer and I hope that over the past week I?ve succeeded.

Just added an new photo over at ademdjemil.co.uk/photo. I also visited Kearnsey Abbey in Dover today and took A LOT of photos and will maybe have a good one to add to the photo blog. I?m only adding a photo if I think it?s pretty good and that I?m proud of it. Quality not quantity [...]

I have a melon-head? well a swollen face due to an abscess. I had a dental check-up on Wednesday which was all fine, and then that very evening I started getting a pain, had trouble sleeping, and then found my face swelling up by morning, alojng with some pain too. Great. I rang up the [...]

 
Yesterday was the first day of the 2009 Planet Thanet Easter Beer Festival and I am still alive today to tell you about it which is a good thing. It?s great to see something like this succeeding and pulling in such a crowd, with not just locals, but many people travelling some distance to sample [...]

I know you?re probably all sick of me talking about the new house, but there?s no getting away from the fact that this is one of the biggest things to have happened to me for quite a while, and is unquestionably the most expensive thing I?ve ever taken on so of course it is dominating [...]
