Long Time no Blog

Well what has happened in the last 11 days?!

Me and the Davies took London by storm.
club unity

It was great to be in London Village, a very different scene to our normal residency. The bar itself is located in the city area, far from any sense of night action. Also unless you know where it is or have a very keen eye, it is quite difficult to find. But the bar itself is very impressive with fish tanks in the walls and long centrally located bar, one issue you can't see the dance floor from the DJ booth, but hey you can't have fish in walls and a good booth.

After getting there at 8:30 and seeing where the place is, we popped off to find a banquette or two. After a nice relaxed meal with Linda and Mark we returned to Temple Bar to find the venue rammed. a venue busy by 10:00 what is going on.

Well the night went well, the first DJ (Mal I think was his name) played some mellow house to get the good vibes going and then we a cheese Dj Owain on his CD decks for the laydees - and boy did he play a set for the ladys! Then Dark Mavis had a bash on the Technics going down to a warm reception by most but with the usual "can you play some cheese, please" from the older/more traditional folk there. After much ear bashing from the punters we let Mr Chart Topper have a go again to end the preceedings.

An interesting night. Was really good to see some old friends there. Cheers to Linda, Leonna, Lizzie and Pella for popping along. Sorry I didn't get much chance to chat to you guys. oh yeah and cheers to the Greg-meister for letting us ring him at 3:20 in the morning so he could let us into his house and sleep in his living room.

Sunday we (Mark, Linda and Myself) went to this amazing place called "Starvin' Marvin's" a tradiational American Diner. Bottomless Coffee and Pancakes for Breakfast please.
Movie at Jodie's place on Sunday night was relaxing - Man On Fire. strange that title - there weren't actualy any men on fire in the film. But there was an interestingly located plastic explosive - you'll know if you have seen the film.

The rest of the week passed by very quickly.
No MM's Cell on Monday.
Bus was good on Tuesday, usual mayhem on first side and responable on the second side.
Wednesday I was in a very vague and not very productive mood - Cell I was just not focusing with.
Thursday travelled back to Redditch before my Grandads funeral.
Friday - well the Funeral went well, nice things were said about by Grandfather. The family got on well and I found out lots of interesting information about my family history - especially that my granddad was one of 11 children and most of the others are in the States. So it could be cool to meet up with some family over there - will be doing a little research into Herlihy family history.
Friday night - headed to House of the Open Door for the Friday night meeting. it was cool to see some friendly faces that I last saw at Celebrate Conference only a few weeks back and some even older ones.
Saturday - tried to fix a computer but ended up busting it even more - they won't be asking me again! then drove back to Cardiff and bought a BBQ and had Jodie, Phil, Laura and Huw round with Gary for a bit of munch and an X-men movie xtravaganza.
Sunday - Went to Woodies in the morning and then drove to Swansea to have a meal with my EZ guys/gals on their way back from the weekend away I missed due to the funeral. I love my EZ team. Thanks to Houllie 4 shouting us the meal too. hmmmm Rib Eye Steak. Then came back home and rested in the afternoon during the storm happening outside. Watched Point Break. Top Movie.

And thats a review of what I have been doing.
For all those readers out there,
