Many Things

Yes, many things have happened which I have not blogged about! So, here we go:

Can you feel it?
I went to see a live gig at local venue Fibbers to see a band called The Feeling. I went there with my usual apprehension, as I'm not a big fan of music that Lint has recommended we see. This has not been the case of late, and in fact both gigs I've been to at Fibbers have been okay at worst. The Feeling were EXCELLENT, a thought lots of people must agree with as they made the Top Ten this week (or last week - whatever).
Their support band Lorraine were a Norwegian Euro-pop group, which was naughtily nice! It's "wrong to like it, but I did" kind of music. All in all, a thoroughly good time.

Driving me round the bend
Leon's finally booked a driving lesson - in fact that's where he is now. Excellent. He's quite nervous, but I'm sure he'll be good. He had lessons before I dragged him up to Yorkshire.

It's a long long way to... Cambridge?
We went to Cambridge (and sutrrounding villages) for the weekend last week. It was nice. Nicer than I had expected too. We saw some (most) of Leon's friends from the area. I enjoyed both evenings out, although Leon didn't enjoy his reaction to whatever-it-was that he ate.
Glen (Leon's best mate) came back from skiing* on the Saturday, so we went round to see his house. I hadn't seen it before. It's pretty nice. Rather blokey, but as it's two blokes living there...

We are family
My family tree research is going quite well. I have tracked back to my mum's mum's mum's mum (my great great grandmother) and possibly found my great grandfather on my dad's side. It's quite fun, actually. When we next go back to Gainsborough we're going to find out where the street that my g.g.gran lived on used to be. We're fairly sure it's not there any more though.


* Why the heck is everyone going skiing these days? It's cold, you might fall off a cliff, you might crash, it snows and is very expensive.
