Some great pictures there.

Always makes me chcukle when I hear about one guy in one part of the Sates who's shivering in snow drifts whilst another is basking in the sunshine; meanwhile most European board members respond with the usual cold, damp & grey :rolleyes:

nice, mild, with the sun peeking from between the fluffy clouds.

But it'll be cold, damp and wet again tomorrow. Bet ya! :P

Now it's dark outside.

Big difference.

damn! it's dark here too! what a coincidence!

(that new camera does some neat things!)

If you are referring to the flash, yes, a mighty one indeed. ;)

Great innit.

Hazy sunshine yesterday and today. Topless motoring for a bit yesterday. All of a sudden, the leaf buds on the trees outside the house have doubled in size. Smelt the wild garlic on beckside too. Summer is coming!!! :)

Very hazy in the Midlands yesterday - I drove to Birmingham to see Henri Texier. The sun came through the mist a bit in the afternoon, however. Nice and warm though.

Very dull this morning but still warm. Might hit the weeding this afternoon!

Enjoyable but not great.

The first half was just his trio playing to a film set in southern Tunisia - 'Remparts D'Argile' - nice playing but unable to really take off because of the need to fit the film sequence. 1 hour and 25 minutes of this was a bit hard going. The recording of this music is much stronger.

The Strada Sextet were much more the business but I think we were all a bit tired by then. I don't find that Sextet or the Vivre CD nearly as affecting as his previous Azur Quintet or his trio with Louis Sclavis and Aldo Romano. The opener - 'Old Dehli' is wonderful (as it was at the concert) but I find the CD a bit disjointed after that.

'Mosaic Man' remains my favourite Texier - a very special disc - along with the two Texier/Sclavis/Romano CDs.

Back to the weather. Still dull. Must clean up the living room...
