December is here

First things first. Some new pictures from two gigs we went to: Suzanne Vega and Athlete, both at Richards on Richards. They were both great, although I definitely enjoyed Athlete the most. I know more of their music, and it was more energetic :) On Monday night we are going to see Tori Amos at the Orpheum theatre (a sit-down affair). Really looking forward to it - I'm a big fan and I've never seen her live. Woohoo!

I can't believe we fly home to England in only two weeks. How time has flown by! I'm really looking forward to seeing family again - 12 months is a long time without visiting. Right now things are very busy. Work is getting pretty crazy for me, with one project that I work on hitting a major deadline just before Christmas. Then of course there is some present shopping to do, although as usual my family are helping me with that - thanks guys! And we are also trying to squeeze some last-minute socializing with friends here before we fly home. Also, this weekend the snow has arrived for the first time this year. It's early too - I think we are going to be in for a cold hard winter if this is anything to go by. Still, Steph will get her skiing I guess :)

We had our work Christmas party on Wednesday night at a bar called The Republic which was very nice. Plenty of free drink and good company. This coming Friday is the Christmas party for ATG (the team I work in) which will be a far more subdued event I am sure. We have plenty of other stuff coming up this week too. We are lucky guys to have such a nice life :)
