I have been lucky enough to come across some really good stuff lately - not drugs"stuff" - just general stuff, music, films and other whatnots. So here it all is in no particular order.

Nottingham Eye

I got pizza on my way from the pub the other day and I'm sure the 'Universe' sign at the front of the Nottingham Eye is new - I quite like it, it's ridiculous and meaningless, but I like it.

Ben's notes from way north make for compulsive reading, go and read - then stop complaining about the cold.

Running

I'm running again and enjoying it. 10K today has given me a few aches but also a warm glow and the knowledge that I'll sleep like a log tonight.

Headphones

I purchased some new headphones for my Nano/MacBook, they're Sennheiser PMX 70's, and are by far the most comfortable and great sounding of their ilk that I have used, well worth the £29.99 they cost (from John Lewis - though they are cheaper at Amazon, the last thing I ordered from Amazon took 11 months to arrive so I thought sod-it I'll just pay the going rate and collect them today).

Music

Several top albums purchased lately, here they are (I actually went to a record store and purchase actual CD's - imagine that!):

• Los Campesinos: Hold On Now Youngster
• Lightspeed Champion: Falling off the Lavender Bridge
• Elbow: The Seldom Seen Kid (note: I am not really a fan of Flash 'splash screens' on websites but the elbow one is beautifully done, check it out.)
• Okkervil River: The Stage Names

Films

• Sunshine: one of the best films I have seen for a while.
• The Orphanage: no Pan's Labyrinth, but still excellent.

And that just about covers it, except for Cider - which I am loving at the moment, and some spicy Parmesan and spinach meatballs I made.
