Massive Attack

As soon as we had arrived back in the UK, we went up to Birmingham to see Massive Attack in concert. They were very, very good, and I would definitely go and see them again. It was quite a small venue and we managed to get quite close to the stage, and both found that our trousers were flapping in time to the base line!

I would want to go to see them an an outdoor venue next time, as the amount of folks smoking left us both with sore throats and eyes.

It's been many years since I went to a concert, and I was hoping that the venue would be smoke free, no such luck.

A Really Good Ski Trip

Just returned from two weeks in Switzerland. The journey went smoothly, the snow was good, and the company was excellent. Apparently some European resorts have been suffering from a lack of snow this winter, but we seemed to have a snow pocket to play in! Now back in the UK, I have put on around 4 kilos in weight, and we have a laundry pile big enough to need planning permission. Here's a competitor in a parapente competition in Zinal.

We skied in Grimentz, St Luc, Chandolin, Vercorin and Zinal. During our stay we met up with some friends, some of whom live in the mountains, and some who are visiting. Naturally, our friend ise knows the best places to eat, and where to find the powder. He's a really good skier most of the time, and there is a link to his blog, Snowslider, from here.
