Lovely weekend and music to my ears

Saturday started with taking the girls to tennis = good progress. Then ran 8 miles in beautiful sunshine along the Basi canal (where was the snow weather guys?!) with my 2 Marathon girls. Hmmm...then watched Wales give us a Rugby lesson followed by a fun night out Chez Champion.
Sunday involved a Hockey tournament for both girls, never having really held a stick before!...loved it tho'. Next a trip to St Albans to see some Springer Spaniel puppies..awwww. Got talked into buying a bitch to be collected in 3 weeks...doh...must be mad. Lastly a meal at Carluccios to add a Mothers Day treat for Rashty.

Only virtue of driving to work is the chance to listen to 3 terrific albums uninterrupted. They really are 3 crackers - current scores on the doors;
TV on the Radio - 8.5/10 - unique and addictive
Arcade Fire - 8.5/10 - as brill as Funeral was - this band are huge now...bit of a shame - i miss the "new and undiscovered stage"
Bloc Party - 7.5/10 - not quite Silent Alarm but some great vocals and tunes

Coming soon (April 10th) Bright Eyes and Cassadaga, follow up to the excellent I'm wide awake etc
