Do you know what I just realised? It’s 2005. Not scary, you say? Let me put it another way. It’s half-way through the decade already! I mean, it hardly seems any time at all since people were buzzing about ‘2000’, about the new millenium… I just can’t believe so much water has flowed under the…

I’m currently 3/4 of the way through listening to “Out of Nothing”, last year’s album from Embrace. I have to say it’s one of the best albums I’ve bought in a long time… it’s really good! I wasn’t sure whether they’d actually be able to top ‘Gravity’… I still think that’s probably the best song…

I won’t really say much about it, because I didn’t do much! On Friday, Philippa came to Ipswich, and … um … we watched some ‘Family Guy’ and stuff. Nothing exciting! Then on Saturday, we … um … went back to Colchester. And then on Sunday, we went to Fordham for Lessons and Carols, and…
