WANTED: Someone to slap my upside the head next time I manage to go two whole months without updating this site.

Jesus H. Christ, I have been slack. Or busy maybe. But mostly slack. Last time I updated this, the UK didn’t have a government, and everyone was complaining about how grey and miserable the weather was. How much has changed in those two short months; now we have a coalition government for the first time in 274 years (approximately) and everyone is complaining because its too hot. How time flies…

The last two months hasn’t entirely been without incident for me, I’ve managed to turn my crappy temp job into a not-quite-so-crappy-but-nonetheless-still-mostly-dull permanent job, become involved in the Take Back Parliament movement for electoral reform (more about that in future blog entries), become single, got a hair cut, and watched an unhealthy amount of sport on telly. I’ve even thought about maybe actually doing some sport, but lets be honest, its a tad warm for all that rushing about. This is the weather for sitting in the sunshine, sipping ice-cold cider (or the cooling and dehydrating beverage of your choice) and watching bands in a field.

Coincidentally (I’m a frickin’ master at this stuff) I’ll be crewing for the crazy (and alliterative) Kit Kaboodle kids at the excellent Two Thousand Trees festival in (hopefully) sunny Gloucestershire next weekend. They’re running the Greenhouse stage, which will be home to all manner of brilliant acoustic acts, including Aspen Sails, Shoes and Socks Off, and the superlative Every Other Ones, who I’m only plugging because they’re my mates. Oh, and they happen to be absolutely fucking amazing. If you’re at the festival make sure you come and say hi; everyone involved are simply lovely. Drunken, but lovely. Although I’ll probably be more one than the other.

That’ll do for now, but I’m definitely going to make more of an effort to update this regularly from now on. Honestly. Probably. Hit me if I don’t.
