A quick post

Just had a good listen to my buddy Matt singing in his new(ish) band 'The Outlines'. They are a good group, and if you want to listen to some of the music they have come up with then check out the following link:

I had a listen to 'Let's Work Together' and 'She Belongs To Me'. They are both great tunes. I understand that 'The Outlines' are available to hire for parties etc etc, so feel free to look at their website and check them out.

Another friend of mine (Paul) is also in a group. I haven't listed them here because he's actually in about 5 bands and that seems to change every 5 minutes so I can't list them here. If Paul wants to send me a link to his latest group I will certainly add the link(s) here.

It's been a while since my last post but....

I understand it's been a bit of a break since my last post, but lots and lots has been happening since then. Firstly, I have been out on a jetski and that was a pretty terrifying experience I can tell you. It was fun, but they are extremely fast and obviously, being a kind of boat, they have no brakes, which means that it's either power 'on' or power 'not on'. they go quite a speed as well. I went with my new (ish) colleague Julian. He took to his jetski like a duck to water.

Also, I have been to Dubai and I had a great time there. I finally got the chance to go up the world's tallest man made structure, the Burj Khalifa as it's known. It takes a good minute or 2 to get to the 'top'. It's a bit unfair really saying that you go to the top, you don't you go to a point about 430 odd metres in the air.it's high, but it isn't near the top. It goes up for another 300 odd metres above you at that point.

Later that day I went and saw the fountains that are in the lake at the base of the tower. In the evening they put on a light and music show and it's quite spectacular. I might well be in Dubai over the next few weeks as well. I managed to find this cheap place (relatively) to stay in, so I'd use the place again if I decide to go back.

Other than the above things are still ticking along teaching wise and I m not sure what will happen early next year once my contract finishes. I'll have to wait and see what happens.
