A Luna breakfast in San Francisco

Well, I have been in San Francisco for just under a day, and I like it! We got into town Saturday afternoon after a very early start in London, followed by a very long flight. After a rather huge burger and a couple of beers on the Castro, we were pretty much done for the day. An [...]

Hurray! Hurray! It’s a holi-holiday!

That’s it! No more work for 2 weeks. Just home from work and picking up bags, then heading over to the boys place. We fly to Californ-I-A in the morning. I hope to be able to post while I am away, when I have time in between having too much fun that is. If not, then I will have [...]

How much to pack?

I never know the answer to this one…. Too little and you end up trying to do laundry too often while away, and that just feels wrong somehow – too un-holiday like. Too much and you are carrying unnecessary weight, and it leaves less room for holiday buys. I think I will sleep on it….

What is with this weather?

I can’t believe it! It’s pissing it down again! This HAS to be the wettest summer on record! I can’t actually remember the last hot spell we had! Has the gulf stream moved or something?

No more physio

That’s it! No more! All done! I’m officially discharged! I went to my land based physio appointment on Friday, and they have said that apart from some exercises I can do myself, I do not have to go to physio any more. I have almost complete mobility and rotation back in my shoulder. There’s no more pain. They [...]

The great gay club music conundrum

Not a segment from Banzai, but something that has bugged me for years…. Why is most gay club music such utter utter utter poop? I was at a club last Saturday, albeit not my first choice of place to go, but a place of good memories nonetheless…. I was given a promotional CD at the time which I [...]

Portishead revisited

Have just rediscovered Portishead in my music collection and have fallen in love all over again. I have several Smart Playlists set up in my iTunes – one of which lists all tracks that I have listened to at least once, but have not listened to for 1 year. I do this to rediscover music that [...]
