A Quiet Weekend

This weekend was one that we did no travelling and spent it in Nottingham (it seems like ages since we haven't been away for the weekend) so we took it easy, managed to get some cleaning and washing done and some Christmas shopping. It was rainy, windy and cold on saturday but cleared up on sunday and its nice and sunny today (though still a little chilly at around 9 degrees).

Saturday night i ventured down to Rock City to see Justice and CSS perform. Justice played for about 50mins and played pretty much what I had expected them too - all stuff off their album. So i was happy, although it was perhaps a little overmixed at times, but i guess you get that from 2 guys rather than 1.

Although i was really only there to see Justice i stayed to watch CSS who, despite coming out wrapped up as Christmas presents and with falling fake snow, were fairly average. They are a 6 piece that sounded like a 3 or 4 piece and apart from the lead singer, the other members had no stage presence and looked like they wished they were somewhere else.

Boro beat Aresnal (who have been undefeated in the league since April) in a magnificent display at home, which makes it even more frustrating that they can't play like that every week. Hopefully they can thrash the bottom placed Derby next week.

Not sure how often i'll be posting over the Xmas/New Year period - we head up to Manchester on Thursday and then down to London for 2 weeks from there before heading off to Prague to bring in 2008 and then to Amsterdam.
