Fragments and moments

Just back from seeing a local band by the name of Big Wednesday play at The Star in Guildford and it was awesome. They have been making a name for themselves for the last couple of years with their blend of big accessible tunes and a kick-ass live show and they seem to have reached a place where it's pretty much at boiling point. The room was packed, everyone was going for it and the audience demanded a second encore, which the band didn't seem to expect at all. It was a brilliant night and I would be amazed if they are still playing venues this size a year from now.

It's good to hear about other people out Swansea way thinking about learning to ninj as well- I really hope that you all enjoy it. I still love it and every training session now is as fresh as it ever was. Just never allow yourself to be deceived into thinking you understand it because you don't. You kind of think "oh, I really get that now" and then six months later you realize you completely didn't get it at all and you only thought you did. I've done it loads of times. I will probably want to retract even having said any of this six months from now as it will somehow no longer make sense. You learn things and then you have to break them down again before they get in the way of the other things you need to learn. It's great.

On a side note, thank-you very much to whoever bought me the Dave Lowry book for my birthday- Amazon neglected to actually tell me who it was, so I'm slightly unsure...
