i live in bristol now, it's only been two days but i've already racked up three pub outings and one hideous hangover. still, i think i'm going to have fun here. i'm most excited about the live music really - unfortunately i have to miss ove naxx tomorrow night but i get to see subtle next tuesday, and i saw one of my best friends singing last night.

speaking of which, my friends the Trans Fatty Acids are doing two shows in london this weekend. friday night on the battersea barge and saturday night at the comedy pub, you should go. i'll be at the saturday night show cos i think i'm going to rock steady on friday. will you be there? are there any other exciting london events on this weekend that you think i should know about?

in other news: i just cooked an amazing chili vegetable risotto, it always amazes me how just dumping loads of things into a big pot and leaving it to simmer for ages can produce such spectacularly tasty results!
