Skyblue Offices Car Park

Now, this might not look like much more than a car park and a tree but, at a closer look, you might notice theres a bank, wallride, gaps, drops, and possibly the smoothest concrete in Manchester - a bustling hive of suits and cars during the week, this place becomes my own personal skatepark come saturday, not another soul in sight.

And what's more, its a five minute skate/walk from my house.

London (again)

Just got back from another flying visit to London, stayed at Juliets again, saw James' new band "Thundercrack" play a gig which was ace, Alex was also there. That lot live in Hackney and, although its apparently the most deprived borough in the UK, it was really nice walking around the canals and parks round there, not like my idea of London at all.

Buen Ayre

And we managed to have a hungover lunch in Buen Ayre; I had 2 empanadas, 1 choripan and a Quilmes. Its a proper Argentine place run by proper Argentinians with a proper parrilla (bbq grill), and it was magic.

Innellan & Dunoon

Went back home to Innellan to see my cousin Finlay get married in July. It was great to catch up with all my extended family that I havent seen in donkeys and everything went well, apart from Susan (the bride) making Finlay sweat a bit by turning up fashionably late. I took Adri to this little hidden away forest walk up the hill in Dunoon called "Morags Fairy Glen" (quaint!) where I had a look at an old fence I jumped off years ago with my mate Graham when I was younger and more foolish. She said the place reminded her of Iguazu.
