002 – Eat in a Ukrainian Restaurant

Golupsie

The years are mounting up this side of my Granddads death and as well as the conversational glimpses into my family history, I find myself missing the food we would eat. He loved his food.

The Royal Albert Hall #bbcproms

Wow. What a great space. Last time I was here I was a roadie and don’t remember much on account of being asleep in the upper tiers between shifts. The acoustics are great. As is the wine supplied in the box I am currently sat at. (thanks @sophiebr) I’m tempted to get temporarily possessed by [...]

TweetDeck (as it’s website explains) “..is an Adobe Air desktop application that is currently in public beta. It aims to evolve the existing functionality of Twitter by taking [...]
