Yeah so maybe I have been feeling a little down - at night time. What is with that? Tears before bedtime... where did you come from?

I made the best batch of chicken soup I've ever made. It's so damn delicious. The trick is to cook it on low. Not boil the bejesus out of it. The chicken is so tender. So very happy with my soup.

I watched How to Train your Dragon on Fox. It was so funny. I loved it. A tad emotional too but a really great enjoyable movie.

Have been relegated at home the past 4 days due to my cold. I feel like I've wasted half my holidays.

Future of the Left were rockin! I had a blast. I was lucky enough to meet the drummer and have a chat with him due to one of my mates lending his guitar to the guitarist for their shows. So that was kinda cool. The show was awesome. I lost my chewy wrapper ear plug outta my right ear going a wee bit shaky of the head during one of their last songs. Ran into an old friend I hadn't seen for years and had a chat. That was lovely. Felt like a real groupie hanging around the singer and base player - my friend was waiting to get his EP signed by all members of the band (the one that had lent his gee-tar). So yeah I just bee-line Julia and tell her how amazing she was and had I had my camera with me I would have loved to photograph her all night (she moves so well and the way her hair falls around when she's playing, wow, if I had a studio and knew how to photograph all of that...) So yeah, awesome night out with friends, had a blast and a really great time. I went home happy. No more Johnson's (baby tears) before bedtime. Woot!

Woke up feeling like crap again. No dog beach. Again. I'm such a bad parent. Went out and took photos for the day with a friend. It was nice to be doing that with someone else for a change. Brings on some motivation. I'm rather happy with what I took. It's a continual learning process. Knackered now. I'm hoping to take the hound out tomorrow. He's such a good boy.
