Singing out for Christmas

So, that was Christmas 2011. It always goes so fast, after such a long build-up. Still, it was a nice one this year, with mild weather, plenty of cocktails and nice dog walks with the family. My brother and I spent some time noodling around on the guitars and piano too, and even got around to bashing out a Christmas song, after discussing whether or not it was that hard to actually write one. You can take a listen to our efforts in the embedded video below. Enjoy, and roll on the New Year!

Photo diary

I thought pictures would sum up the sort of things I got up to over the bank holiday weekend. Enjoy!

Can bites Dog

I mentioned two posts previous that the picture of dogs in garlands was my favourite BBC news story picture. Well it has been well and truly surpassed by this fantastic effort. Is it worth a BBC News Online entry? Probably not, but it’s great.

What are they feeding him?

I think they might be giving this dog too much respect - the headline is slightly sensationalist . But then again I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of it.

Hair of the Dog

Yet another bizarre news story I want to be associated with. And an excuse to put in a picture of my mutt. He doesn't drink.
