Blimey, had a surprise (sort of) party yesterday. I sort of knew it was coming as I wasn't allowed to go to the Derby vs Blackburn match which means I saw precisely zero of the Derby matches over Chrismtas but hey-ho, at least I didn't see them lose.

Me mum, dad, Aunty Joan, Uncle Michael, Janette and the kids (and probably loads of other folks knowing how our family works) put on a brilliant do with awesome food and more than enough entertainment supplied by the mighty Big Lix, thanks Guys you rock mightily!!

Even managed to do a couple of tunes meself before getting ever so slightly massively drunk. Rip's kit fully rocks with just the best double pedal and brill sounding drums. Great to see all the folks there - we even had all of Amethyst in the same room which I reckon is the first time in more than ten years, 25 year ago almost to the day Roj, Ed and Steve got me hammered at the Northwood club before depositing me back at home, the things folks won't let you forget eh!!

Good stuff and Eddy Brid even did a song with the band which was well cool, he ain't lost it. No end of other folks there from work, bands, family and what have - utterly bamboozled was I and mighty pleased to see one and all. Thanks massively to all involved you're all so much better than I deserve!!

Apologies to anyone who I gave stick to about supporting Newcastle -when you support Derby you have to find someone in a similiar pickle with relegation looming. So big apologies to the Derbyshire based contingent of the Toon Army, please forgive the mutterings of drunken rams fan - not like we know anything about football at the minute!

Now have to work out why I do the stupid drinking thing. Some sort of defense mechanism that makes me head hurt in a morning!!

Still am up early doors - think am going to have to go for a run as have left helmet 20 odd miles in a Darley Dale direction like a fool (cycled over there before the party yesterday!).

Run Update
Only ran up to paper shop and back about two and a half/three miles . Realised have got no GPS, no bag for carrying stuff in (like papers) ! Bugger
