The Simpsons Movie!

Adri with some familiar faces we met at the cinema when going to see Shrek 3.

The back yard

Complete with all our washing!

Stained glass window

The building I am working in right now is full of these things, not too shabby eh?

Another one of the living

Kitchen

Top floor bedroom

Main bedroom

The view from Leo's room

From here you can look over all the other houses in the neighbourhood as ours is the only one with a 3rd floor - its pretty relaxing as its the quietest room in the house.

88 Station Road

Our newly pimped out living room. Shabba.

Sonia & Anne in Iguazu

Here are some great photos from Sonia & Anne from their recent trip to Iguazu waterfalls & the Jesuit ruins in Argentina.

Anglesey

Last weekend we spent a flying visit to Anglesey to spend a bit of time with mum, dad, grandma and uncle Robin. It was so good to get out into the wilderness again, theres nothing quite like fresh country air!





Dad and Uncle Robin in the middle of a deep discussion, I've no doubt!





Check out all my Anglesey photos at my flickr webpage.

Longford Park, Chorlton

We spent most of the day in Longford Park today as it was really warm and sunny.

There were also some baby rabbits in the "Animals Corner".

The Great Hall

Heres where I've been working recently, again in the university. It has to be one of the coolest rooms I've ever been paid to be in.

Phoenix Club, Manchester

Have to thank Ed for dragging us out to hear some great music and generally just getting us out to a club for the first time in months!

Trafford, South Manchester

Just a few views of Trafford I took when I worked out there. Lots of red bricks and lifeless alleyways that lead, apparently, nowhere. Typical scenery of that part of the city.

Abandoned Workyard, BsAs

I took these last year on a fishing trip with Juan and his dad in rural Buenos Aires.

I dont know there was just something I really liked about them so I thought I'd post them here?

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.

Another Half-Assed Video Clip

Here you have the evidence.

Bored At Work

This is what the University of Manchester is currently paying me £6.25 per hour to do ...

all day ....

every day .....

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.

Finlays Wedding

To anyone who wants a copy - cheques payable to Mat Davies, Flat 4 ...

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.

A Year In Argentina

Well, I've just started getting in to this you-tube video thing.

My second effort is a mish-mash of random clips I took on Adris camera last year while we were in Argentina, they're not great quality, very random, and don't have any sound so I added some music to "heighten" the experience.

Maybe I can enter the turner prize and win £50,000 - as far as I can see its the sort of rubbish they usually look for!

Heaton Park

Manchesters largest park. First of all heres a couple of Heaton Hall and the surrounding gardens
