Spent a very enjoyable evening at the Cumberland Arms attending a friend's album launch gig - you should check his stuff out here:

Go on, listen and buy the album (and I don't get commission but was rewarded for very easy door duties on the night...)!!
It was so much better than rushing home on a Friday night and do the packing for the holidays! Obviosuly the packing then still had to be done and I had a very short 3.5 hours before I had to get up again at 3.30 am to catch my flight to Germany.
Oooh that's not good - 3.5 hours!! Looks like the evening was worth it though. We should all get Upstairs Downstairs style assistance when it comes to packing...
