Traipsed many hours to Wembley Arena to see Tedeschi Tricks Band. It was like watching them in a rehearsal room. Sounded exactly like the CDs and minimal audience interaction. The sound was so awful, at one point, we discussed pizza toppings and our favourite holiday stories while some TTB background music played. Love their recordings but wouldn’t cross the road to see them live again.

And then Mars bars got smaller. How do you think I feel?

I left, got a tedious job in a local authority, regained my self-esteem, drifted into IT and I've been a successful freelance project manager for two decades now. Getting out of the law remains the best career decision I ever made.

28 December. So cold, half the pictures were taken outside in the churchyard with purple hands very much in evidence. The remaining photos were taken inside where it was only marginally warmer. Also, check your car battery before the actual day - cold kills them and this one day you don’t want to be waiting for the AA.

Yes, it’s Irish pronunciation. I’m Irish and I dropped my ‘haitch’ when I moved to England. Then I got pulled up on it when I went back to Ireland! I don’t think the Northern protestants/UK loyalists say, ‘haitch’, though. I believe it’s one of the ‘identifiers’ up there.
