Last night we finally managed to catch up with Joe Pernice of The Pernice Brothers. To make things even better the gig was only a 10 minute walk from our house. Why can’t everyone play at St Bon’s? It was really packed in the small room and consequently really, really warm. Poor little Joe was almost lost in a pool of perspiration. As with the Pernice Brothers records, it was very enjoyable, without being particularly earth shattering.

On my morning walk through Redland Green, I’m ever more intrigued by the mass ranks of dog walkers that gather there. It’s increasing bizarre that on some days they all appear to be wearing red, then the next day it’s blue. Normally one lone walker can be spotted in the wrong colour jacket, of course they are banished to another section of the park. Are dog walking groups the new singles bars?

Looks like we could be going to Newcastle in May. The university is having a William Roberts exhibition, the first in this country for 40 years. Thanks to Easyjet, the Bristol – Newcastle journey is now very easily and cheaply accomplished.
